Dart frogs

[jeosbo01]

Anyone else on here keep dart frogs in addition to fish?

No, but I do know that if they're captive raised, they're typically non-toxic, and one of the LFS in my area sells some. If I go the paludarium/terrarium route, these are beautiful and likely to be my first option for amphibians.

For those that aren't already aware, the toxins secreted by the poison dart frogs is a result of their native diet, where their prey items ingest certain alkaloids or some such.

I have a bunch of them and have been breeding them for over a decade...they are awesome animals. Just wasn't sure if anyone else on here had them.

Rereading my earlier post, I misspoke, and didn't proof it before posting.

I meant to say that no, I haven't seen anyone mention having dart frogs, and I read a *ton* of threads.

What kinds do you keep? I have a crested gecko, but no frogs!

Very cool setups.

Those are nice looking tanks WeeNe. I keep most of mine in more 'utilitarian' setups, but here are a couple of my past and present frogs:

BTW, I currently only breed Phyllobates terribilis (orange and mint morphs) and Adelphobates galactonotus (yellow). I have froglets of Dendrobates tinctorius (Powder blue, cobalt, and azureus) but I sold the adults of them when I started on my Masters in January.
