Poison Dart Frogs (Major DU Warning!)

So my wife and I picked up some poison dart frogs while we were at the show a couple of weekends ago and I wanted to let them settle in first before I scared them with the giant silver thing that makes bright flashes of sunlight!

Hope you guys like!

very cool!!!!

Nice! I'd love to have a dart frog enclosure someday!

Nice. I think you're about to learn that darts are as addicting (or more) as BPs. I picked up a pair of D. Leucoma about 5 weeks ago, and now I've just finished setting up a 20 gal for a trio of P. Bicolor or P. Terribilis. I already have plans for a 3rd Leucoma and a tank of D. Tinctorius (still deciding between 4 species).

Yeah, that's a 10 gallon enclosure, I plan on setting up a 29g or 40g breeder I personally am not a huge fan of the frogs, other then the fact that they're cute, but you dont really handle them and I'm not a huge fan of Look, dont touch pets. Either way though, I LOVE building the enclosures. It's really fun, and I want to build the next one with a waterfall and have a small pool at the end and more so I can't wait to do the rest of the building, but I wanted to let them settle in, plus I want to get the substrate a little better due to the current plants having a hard time growing. They're not dying, but not thriving either, we'll see what happens.

I may have a few questions about their substrate for you, I'll send you a PM

Awww It's pictures of our babies!

I've been meaning to get pictures of these guys, glad you did honey.

You should have taken pictures of them eating their fruit flies!

wow! that blue one is cooler than :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:! haha!

I'm soooooo jealous! I will own some dart frogs one day. Congrats on some cool looking frogs.

Thanks, they had some other green and black ones that looked like the blue and black, really cool stripes and bright crisp color but my wife really liked the poka-dots on the one we got. :)

wow, that is soooo cool, ive always thgoutht they were neat looking. and im like you, im not very good at look dont touch

I love the look and no need to touch pets, they look great! Exact same one's I was browsing around for.

I agree with you completely - building the enclosures is the best part!

It is possible to just do terrariums without critters....though the frogs really do help keep the inevitable bugs under control.

Are those frogs different species? If so watch for agression....they fight by sitting on top of each other (which is adorable but stressful)

congrats on the new setup! n looking forward to pics in the future :)
