I love dart frogs! They're just so gorgeous.. I may have to get a few from you!

 

[Siylvat]

wow they are pretty!

This may seem dumb, i don't know anything about frogs, but do you have to wear gloves or anything to handle them? Poisonous right? Or is it too little to matter?

 

[timber]

in captivity they loose their toxins, they get toxins from a certain bug that gets pollen from a native plant. so when born are non-toxic. i do however have imports on occasion that i dont really handle for a few months.

Awesome! I love poison dart frogs!!!

I worked at an aquarium and took care of all the animals in the Amazon exhibit so I got to make vivariums and take care of the frogs. When I worked there we just had Azureus and Leucomelas though.

I was going to make my own viv for at home but then moved and just didn't have the time for it.

Some day I'd love to make more vivs and especially a large one that would be housed in the wall with a water feature. I think making the vivs is half the fun!

When I went to get the Azureus, we got them from the Como Zoo in Minnesota so I got to go behind the scenes and see their breeding room, it was really interesting!

I miss taking care of the little guys!
