The First Post is Always Special

When thinking about what I should post on this blog, this was the first thing that came to mind.

In reptiles and amphibians, when setting up a pet's habitat, the rule of thumb has always been to make it has naturalistic as possible. When setting up a wild-caught animal, this is especially true, as for most species of amphibian. And then there was Socrates.
White's tree frogs have been exclusively captive bred since before 1998(I am not sure when they banned the exportation of animals for the pet trade), which is a significant number of tree frog generations. Due to the ease of breeding them, the captive bred population before australia's ban must have been significant, though I don't have any statistics to verify that. This is a significant population which has never felt sunlight on its backs, has eaten exclusively, for the most part, crickets and mealworms with vitamin supplements, and all in all had nothing to do with the wild while their population was cut off. They have been evolving for more than nine years to fit their pseudo environments. Now, keep in mind, nature is not the best place for almost all modern(in 1st world countries) humans, though most people's minds tend to respond to naturalistic settings. Humans, of course, have traveled across all the continents and are a highly adaptable species. Most reptiles stayed in one habitat range, sometimes for longer than the human species existed. However, White's tree Frogs are migratory and are also a very hardy, adaptable species. We have no idea as to what their balance of nature and nurture is. Could it be that an artificial habitat would suit them(the captive bred population) better than a natural one? An artificial habitat which have yet to discover?
