Welcome to our amphibian related web-site!

We are Niina and Joonas Gustafsson, two amphibian hobbyists from Tuusula Finland. We both have been interested in amphibians for over 15 years. Our intrest includes both amphibians in captivity and in observing amphibians in the wild. At the present time we have the largest collection of different kinds of amphibians in Finland. We have also participated in several amphibian related projects trough out these years.

Our Finnish web site Sammakkolampi (Frog Pond) presenst amphibians both as pets, and as wild creatures. There is also an own section for native amphibians and reptiles of Finland (also in Finnish).

If you are interested in more generally about Finnish herpetology or herpetoculture you may want to visit The Herpetological Society of Finland website.
