Dart frog pics

[Emg]

I spent a part of the day redoing my dart frog vivs....and managed to get a couple of great pics of the G&B auratus...who is almost NEVER available for photographs.....thought I would share some........

Here's a pic of the 20long viv with the citronella and oelemari in it......it had gotten all over grown and tangled looking...had the day off today and thought I would tidy it up a bit...

Very enjoyable critters.......



I'd REALLY like to get a hold of a few of these !! (I didn't take this pic....Reto Siegenthaler did...... :huh: )

AWSOME!!!! That 2nd pic of yours is especially great!! There were some unbelievably gorgeous dart frogs at the Lowery Park Zoo last time I was in Fla.
Like a yellow orange but sooo bright!! They looked rubber. Good job!!

You mean these ?

These are Dentrobates Leucomelas from Guyana....I've seen them at Black Jungle last time I was there....absolutely beautiful frogs !

Blackwolf........BlackJungle up in Greenfield, Mass is where I get my frogs and supplies. REally cool store with lots of darts and vivs..and racks and racks of driftwood and they also have thier own greenhouse full of tropical plants.

A link to thier website...you'll find some info there as to keeping and caring for darts...and also some "how tos" into setting up vivs. http://www.blackjungle.com/home.htm

I feed my frogs on flightless friutflies and have to keep a running supply at all times. I make my own cultures and have a shelf full of plastic fly containers full of flies...fun...hehe...

They really aren't difficult to keep at all...much easier than fish tanks....lol...

I agree, the second photo is very cool! Why do you have a hard time taking pictures of it? Is it just reclusive, or is it scared of the camera?
