We've been lurking on the list for about 3 years now and have only posted a few times. I've been meaning to ask a few questions the last couple of weeks, however, we had some problems with outgoing email and have just now had the time to figure out what the problem was. I don't believe we have ever put an introduction up so before I ask my question here is my introduction....

I'm Sarah Brown with Quality Captives. The other half of Quality Captives is Melissa Hare. Our very first reptile was a bearded dragon we bought from a pet store. Shortly after we purchased 'Ozzie' we discovered the reptile show in Columbus (Ohio) and soon had many other types of reptiles including many types of geckos and some frilled dragons (which we successfully bred).

We first saw dart frogs at the Columbus show. We were intrigued by them but they seemed like way too much work. Little did we know that they were not only easier than many of the reptiles we had but they were so much more fun! Eventually we purchased 3 tadpoles and had a great time watching them morph. We fell in love with the darts and eventually sold all of our reptiles and solely concentrated on the frogs (after all -- the heat lamps for the reptiles made the house much too warm for the little ones). We've been keeping (and breeding) darts for about 4 years now. We have a little bit of everything from Tricolors and Azureus to Tincs, Auratus, and multiple types of thumbnails. Our collection has evolved over the years and I'm sure our collection will continue to evolve with time.
