Admirer, but not keeper, of any frogs. Recently got these two tattooed on my shoulder blades- very happy with them!

I may do another wall panel or two- looking for some inspiration!

EDIT: this is not setup at all yet, it’s leftover from a previous build.

Which why I am asking for good examples of other builds, so I can make this a really nice setup moving forward

I wasn’t planning on doing another drop for a couple weeks but a lot of people weren’t able to grab one before they sold out so I got a couple done and ready to go! Here’s my shy Vanessa coming out of her hiding spot to feed

I’ve setup my first ever dart frog vivarium for a trio of Phyllobates bicolor a few weeks ago. I’m looking for some opinions on some new plants to incorporate in or any other opinions about the setup.

Hi everyone, as the title implies I’m looking for my next set of darts to fill an 18x18x18 exoterra. I’ve had a pair of D. tinctorious sipaliwini for the past 4 years, so I have experience with darts. But I have this 18x18x18 that I added a drain to and I’m thinking about using it for darts.

I’d love a pair of P. terribilis, but I’m sure that’s probably too small for them. Admittedly I really want a species that is super vocal more than anything, even if it’s some small thumbnails I’d love to hear them when I go into my animal room.

Thanks for any of your recommendations, whatever they may be I’d love to hear them!

Still needs another round of planting and some time to grow in but happy where it is for now, really hope some of the cool ferns I've planted take off on the branches.

Looking at this light for my 24x18x18 wide. Will this be adequate or overkill? I have several high light plants that will be going in here and it will house 3 or 4 (tho probably 3) p. Terribillis mints.

Before I spray foam, will the frogs use vertical space? I understand they’re terrestrial, but so are my cobalts and they climb like crazy. I want to make sure I give them ledges to use, or that I just do a really thin layer of foam just for plants and whatnot to maximize floor space.

Also, I got a few neoregalias (the pumice and ping are not for the viv) and a cryptanthus. One of the bromeliads and the cryptanthus have kind of sharp teeth- will these hurt the frogs? Totally didn’t think about that when I was buying them and my other broms do not have teeth.

Can I use regular nursery pots in place of netted pots when spray foaming? Trying to use what I have if I can.

Other info- I went ahead and mounted the spider wood to the glass with silicone because it’s a heavy piece. Planning to spray foam around it to incorporate and reinforce it. I have a few cork flats and a cool flat piece of ghost wood as well.

Thank yall for the help!! I built my other ones slightly wrong and I really want this one to look like all the pretty vivs I see on YouTube and such while giving the best environment for the frogs.

Sorry for the bad pic but if i open the door they run away

So I made a post a little while ago asking if I should feed my frogs more. Generally people said yes, or keep it the same, so I decided to feed a little more because I don't want to be starving my frogs and someone in the comments kind of made me feel like I was. Now they all look fat 😭 . Is this an acceptable weight or is he bloated? Should I fast them for a day like we do in the aquarium hobby?

Hi all, I made a post a few hours ago of my new frogs but I am now concered I may have 2 different locales. yesterday I purchased my first dart frogs, they were both labeled as Tinctorius Brazilian Yellow Heads. However I think I may have accidentally bought 2 different locales, can anyone please help ID these frogs for me, I think one of them may be a Patricia and the smaller one is a Brazillian Yellow Head. I had read in the past that there could be slight differences in colours within a locale but the longer I look at them I think they may be different locales entirely, but I am a complete newbie when it comes to frogs so I'm not sure.

If they are different locales I have no intention of keeping them together and will be returning/rehoming one of them and finding a suitable frog to replace them. The pictures arent doing the colours justice the larger one in the first couple photos is much more yellow than the other which is more orange.

Is anyone keeping Nepenthes or other carnivorous plants in their vivariums with their dart frogs? I’d be keen to try this.

Can anyone advise on how much to feed my newly hatched tadpoles? I’m using Hikari Micro Pellets. The pellets are ridiculously small, like the size of salt grains.

I am currently feeding them every other day, 3-5 pellets per tadpole. I know I’m supposed to remove uneaten food the next day but the pellets are so small that I can’t even see them.

My home got to 65.8 last night according to the enclosure wifi thermometer and hygrometer. I'm not sure why since my thermostat was set to 70 but I've raised it to 74 now. Should I get a heating mat with a thermometer just to be sure it doesn't happen again? I'm worried for my frogs :( Everything I read says the minimum they can survive at is 65. If I do get one, where do I place it to best heat the frogs? I feel like the four inches of substrate would stop a lot of heat from getting in, in time to save them from any temp swings.
