I guess the obvious answer is that DOC have concerns over possible effects on our native frogs :sage:
I'm currently setting up a terrarium with my daughter who has a few Whistling Tree frogs about to morph, and while looking up froggie info on the net I of course came across heaps of info on Dart Frogs...so the question popped up in my mind...why don't we have some of these amazing frogs here? Given they are tropical frogs, I doubt they would / could survive if they did ever escape.
In my life before kids, I kept all sorts of fish plus frogs, axolotls etc...now some 10 years on, I see that we have available cool reptiles like leopard geckos, blue tongue lizards, water dragons, and bearded dragons ...would these not pose the same danger to our native gecko / lizard species, as Dart Frogs would to native frogs?
Has anyone tried to import Dart Frogs, or other frogs for that matter? I'd be interested to know of any background on possible froggie imports.
Cheers, Andrew.
