Dart frogs, finally sprouted - Pets and Animals - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

N707 · 01-25-2009, 09:00 PM

Hi all! I've been a long time lurker and finally got over my paranoia and joined up. I am into alot of bio type hobbies, one of which being breeding and rasing poison dart frogs in the dendrobates genus. Before anyone asks they are not poisonous anymore, they disseminate thier toxins after not eating certain insects that are only found in Cantral and South America.

I get eggs from my trio of D. vetrimiculatus every few weeks, and up until last month they were always infertile. I went to feed the tadpoles and realised that my big had finally 'sprouted' his front legs. So I can move him to a half land setup now. Just wanted to share my nerdyobsession and some pics. Anyother critter freaks lurking in the shadows around here? I keep different sp. of tarantulas, some scorps, and dart frogs, all of which i build custom controlled envorments for. Here are some shots of two of my little minions and the parents setup.

My first sucessfull tad...woooo. (so far)

This guy fell about 14' onto tile as a tiny tad and somehow survived, notice his bent tail...lol.

One of my vivariums, this one houses three D. ventrimiculatus (dart frogs).

Anyone else here into vivariums or the like?
