Episode 144. “From Phelsuma to Frogs” The early days of the hobby, oophaga vincentei, and the ACA with Michael Heinrichs
Manage episode 374609675 series 2918770
This week I am joined by Michael Heinrichs and we discuss his beginnings in the hobby, oophaga vincentei, and expanding conservation goals through the Active Conservation Alliance. Michael started out keeping herps (specifically geckos in the Phelsuma genus) in the 1970's and he has experience in both the US and German hobbies. In this episode we talk about the early days, and how Michaels interests in conservation evolved into his current project - The Active Conservation Alliance. We also cover Michael's experiences with Oophaga vincentei, their status in the hobby, and why they make good candidates for smaller vivariums.
