ROBERT HILL has been interested in reptiles and amphibians as long as he can remember, and has maintained and bred several species. He is currently working at the Atlanta Botanical Garden as an Amphibian Specialist. Prior to this, Robert worked in the Herpetology Department of Zoo Atlanta. At the garden, he works with several species of frogs from Latin America, in particular species from mid-high elevation regions of Panama.
