·I recently met John and Jennifer Gibeau. They have moved to a new home, and either traded away or sold about half their collection, and I counted about 55 tanks, and at least a couple hundred frogs.
They were very modest, and said that there are collections out there that make theirs look tiny.
So I guess I am curious - If their collection is not large, what is large? John said that I might want to clarify this question with number of morphs in a species as being counted, and I think that they should, just for the purposes of counting. Counting in this fashion, John and Jen have 34 species of frogs, 28 of which are poison frogs; and about 65 babies of different kinds.
Talking to John today, I asked him to go through and count everything, and he said that he needed to anyway, and has come up with a number of 204 animals all told, not counting tadpoles.
John warned me that Dendroboard is a place where you scratch people's backs, and not to expect unbiased opinions; Anything negative is counted as an attack here I guess, so I just want to say up front, I am friends with John, I have decided that the guy is the kindest man on the planet. Heck, he gave me and my girlfriend frogs and the tank they came in, saying "It's nice to see you loving them, so take them home and love them there." They are a frog called ventrimaklatus(?), or something like that. They are all carrying the gene for albino, and I looked at some albinos, and really liked them.
So how many frogs make a collection large?
