    Default Where can i find a dart frog guide?

    Good afternoon

    I'm looking for a "dart frog Bible" so to speak. It can be a website, poster, book etc. I'm mostly looking for something that I can do a side-by-side comparison of the different morphs along with pictures and how to tell them apart. A major bonus would be if it has species specific information such as boldness, terrestrial/arboreal, and so on.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    I think TFH has one. Not sure how old/up to date it is though, but I saw it advertised in one of my other frog books. I'm sure I've seen a poster available as well, have you tried Josh's or Black Jungle?

    Josh's has one by TFH but it's out of stock, you can probably find it on ABE books or eBay though http://www.joshsfrogs.com/poison-dar...herp-care.html

    Here's a pretty cool poster http://www.ebay.com/itm/AQUALOG-Post...item3ccb801f39

    Check out Dendrobates.org:
    http://www.dendrobates.org/dendrobatoidea.html

    Also Dart Den: Dart Frog - Species Lists and specific information
    http://www.dartden.com/viewforum.php?f=51

    Also Wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrobatoidea


    The Dendrobates.org is a great site, although still incomplete for some entries. They also have calls for some.

    The Dart Den info is also incomplete.

    Both of these are "works in progress".


    The definitive book is by Lotters et al. Poison Frogs: Biology, Species & Captive Husbandry
    http://www.amazon.com/Poison-Frogs-B.../dp/3930612623

    Poison Dart Frogs: A Guide to Care and Breeding
    http://www.poisonfrogs.net/book.htm

    Poison Frogs - Jewels of the Rainforest
    http://www.amazon.com/Poison-Frogs-R.../dp/0793802997
    (note this is an older book with incorrect/misleading info but has great pictures)
