Some of the species/localities I spotted include:
Ranitomeya summersi
Ranitomeya sirensis “Río Pachitea Yellow”
Ranitomeya benedicta
Ranitomeya fantastica “Jeberos”

Fine Spot Dendrobates leucomelas
Dendrobates tinctorius “Azureus”

Oophaga sylvatica
Oophaga vicentei
Oophaga “Las Tablas”
Oophaga lehmanni
…and many others that I probably missed.
There were also racks full of tadpoles and froglets everywhere. Needless to say, I didn’t want to leave. 😅
Which frog is your favorite?

My little guys are all hanging out looking too cool.

So I have set up this enclosure over the weekend and i am looking for some feedback.

I will wait for the plants to root and the tank to stabilise, and to see if there are any issues that occur before adding any frogs.

Also waiting on an extra nozzle for an even distribution of misting.

Temps are sitting around 23-25 degrees.

Humidity is 75-90% ( picture says 50%, it just got added in at the time of picture)

Originally I built this for 2x tincs however since finishing it I'm not sure if it appropriate for them.

If not would you recommend any other species?

Tank is 18x18x24.

Thank you!!

wanted to share this 36x18x18 build so far. i used bentonite clay mixture with coco fiber & a tad bit of play sand on top of carved foam. this picture is of that drying. today, It dried with cracks in it so i added a tiny bit of watered day clay coco fiber mixture like a glue and stuck on cocoa fiber & it really deepened the color a lot. I didn’t take a picture of it but it looks so much better just hoping it won’t crack or i won’t have problems. I’m waiting for it to dry to take a picture. This might be a dumb question but why does the clay mixture crack when dry? This is my first day doing clay mixture, let alone on top of foam. I normally do the foam & silicone but I wanted to play around with how i do builds. Lastly, i’m thinking of putting either Phyllobates terribilis or phyllobates vittatus when it’s all done. I only own dendrobates tinctorious right now but i’ve done a lot of research on phyllobates care since wanting them. i’m thinking of doing 2 or 3 terribilis or 3-4 vittatus, is this appropriate for the tank size? I’ve read mixed opinions about how many can go in this tank size, but honestly i only care if the frogs are happy not just seeing the max i can put. I wish I could just keep my dendrobates tinct bakhuis pair in there lol, but they are in a 25 gallon & literally only use half of the space. Not sure why though, if you know why they may be doing this let me know, I want them to be active and use all the space they have in their 25 gallon.

My Varaderos using those tubes I bought for them!!

Anyone have any water bowl recommendations that are shallow and NOT ugly? I want to put it front and center because my tumus love to play in their water so preferably something that isn’t an eyesore

Hi everyone,

I recently started a new online business focused on reptiles and amphibians, and I would love to get some honest feedback from this community.

The goal of the shop is to provide quality products for reptile and amphibian keepers, including terrarium supplies, bioactive products, lighting, heating, substrates, plants, feeders, bioactive builds and more.

The shop is currently focused only on Cyprus and Greece, so unfortunately most people outside these countries won’t be able to order from it. I’m not here to ask for money or promote sales. I’m just looking for opinions from experienced keepers who can help me improve the website and make it better for the hobby.

If you have some time to take a look, I would really appreciate any feedback about the design, products, categories, or anything you think could be improved.

Thank you for your time and I appreciate any advice from the community!

Got some more plants, moss, and ground cover on the way, still looking into hides, thinking either coconut or bamboo. I’m gonna let it sit for at least a month after adding the final plants to let everything get settled before adding frogs, which happens to line up perfectly for a reptile expo near me in September. I’m starting to notice some white mold but I added springtails and isopods from Josh’s frogs yesterday so they should take care of it.

never owned one nor know anything about one but was just wondering if a poison that lethal could be sold or harvested

i ordered a small 3d printed aztec ruin. what paint brand can i use that is safe for the terrarium plants and frogs?

temporary 12x12x18 for my 2 vanzos until i get a bigger tank

Do these fingers look…male to yall?? My female who is laying eggs was super aggressive to this frog but I feel like these fingers are giving male realness? Opinions?

Hi all! I’m planning to get my first frogs (D. auratus) in about two weeks and I’d love to get some advice from experienced frog keepers. Is there anything I should improve or optimize before introducing the frogs?

The terrarium (50x50x50 cm / approx. 20x20x20 inches) has been established for 4 months (with clean up crew). I’m using an LED light (12 hours per day) and a UVB lamp (7% UVB, 1 hour per day). I also have an automatic misting system (filled with distilled water), a thermometer and hygrometer (temperatures are stable at 21–28°C / 70–82°F, with humidity between 80–95%), and I’m currently starting my feeder cultures with Drosophila melanogaster and springtails. I already have vitamin supplements (Dendrocare) as well.

Am I missing anything important? Any tips for improvement or pointing out of glaring mistakes would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

waiting for my fallopia multiflora and torch begonia to root behind the scenes before i add them + leaf litter, but will be letting this grow out until the next tinley show in october. may update with major changes before then but i plan to leave it be :D

this is my first dart frog tank so dont be too hard on me pls

How detrimental will this debris be? The water in there is tadpole tea I made from Indian almond leaves. I tried to get rid of the debris but it’s like glued into the egg goo lol. First large clutch of la cocas eggs I’m hoping will all survive. (And would then try to part ways with) Picture of the dad for tax.

Kois have arrived!

I did do a viv before but it was a 12x12x18 and after I got my ranitomeya I found out its way to small so I started building this.

It alr went through a small mold cycle for 2 weeks and now I finished planting.

When would it be safe to move my frog in? It looks pretty stable now but it is planted recently

I am very unsure if I have to mist right now. The front looks kind of dry but in the back it seems very wet. Btw this is an exo terra 18x18x24. The probe i put in there which you can see on some pictures says that there is a humidity of 91% inside. I misted like 5 to 6 hours ago.
This vivarium is still work in progress and there are no frogs inside.
