Anybody in the club keep dart frogs. I am going to expand my amphibian collection in that direction. I have settled on Dendrobates "Bakhuis" Tinctorit's.

I didn't know dart frog are available for sale as many species are endangered in the wild. In the National Zoo Amazon exhibit, there are several dart frog Terrarium display. They are really cute little amphibian, comparable to coral fish in color intensity.

Many dart frogs have been bred in captivity for years and are readily available in the hobby.

Repticon is usually a good local show to source dart frogs. The next show is at the end of January in Timonium.

Thanks for starting this thread....I've been thinking about getting some too. I'm just starting my research so I haven't decided on anything yet.

I usually have them on the pre order list, too. I'm not set up to maintain them, so they're ONLY special order.

Josh's Frogs (different Josh), is very reputable and is currently having a sale on two types of dart frogs. Not sure if they are of the type you're seeking, though.

Dendroboard is a great site for research. I also joined a couple groups on Facebook. One of themy is local. Their is also a local guy that sells fruit fly cultures and other feeders too. His Facebook page is East Coast Feeders. Sammy knows him and buys from him.

East Coast Feeders is owned by a guy named Marco. He is out of VA and does deliveries to areas where demand is high. He sells good quality feeder insects.

That is a Zoo Med 18x18x24 I initially bought for crested geckos. I recently gave away my crested geckos so I switched it to dart frogs.
You don't need a tank that tall. A 20H would be great for a pair or trio 2/1. A 20 long would also be great for a pair. They need ground space more than arboreal space.
The biggest requirement is the humidity level. I have a diy fogger I came up with using a ultrasonic humidifier and Exo Terra RS400 rain maker.

Dusted wingless and winged fruit flies.
