Informations on leucolemas for begginer plz! <3

[Bibilibop]

Hello everybody!!

Well I know tha Dart frog are not specially the best frogs for begginer and I didn't think about them before I saw that frogs like Leucomelas, auratus, and azurus were good for beginners.

Oddly, I don't really like like the blue one, and everytme people were talking about dendrobate I imaginated those frogs, really hard to keep.
But when I saw the bumble bee dart frog.... Waah ^^ They are gorgeous!

People seems to argue a lot on the minimum size of their terrarium... Sometime I read 10 gallons, 15 gallons, 20, or even 30.
Anybody keeps some of these frogs and can help me?

Also, I really want to have a natural terrarium, with real plants. Is it really hard? How can i do this?

For substrat, I have plantations soil, made from coconut. It's supposed to be fine? ( And for an unknow reason when I use this substrat I always have an invasion of fruitflies! lol Would they it them?)


Should I put a Mist generator, or a rainfall system?

So they need a lot of water? ( Will they be alright with a simple water bowl?)


I'll continue to make ressearchs, but hints and help is always welcome!

These frogs basicly just need room to roam and explore.

Depending on how many frogs you plan on having will determine size of tank.
If you were doing 4 frogs a 15 or 20 gallon tank wold be fine for these little guys.
You will want width over height.

Basically, you would want to set up a tank with a drainage layer, screen, then the plantation soil on top.
If you design with the plantation soil to have hills, add in some basic accents such as coco huts, vines (I like Monkey ladder), a stump or other pieces of wood, then your plants, you will have created enough to have them hunt, climb, hide, and explore on.

A canopy glass top would close in the tank and keep the humidity in from misting a few times a day or having a misting system.
No need to water features since they get their drink from the moisture on leave and such by absorbing it.
I also like to use coco pods which will hold water in case they want to get wet for some reason but not be too deep for them since they are not swimmers.

Then have some good lighting that is using bulbs with 6500K color temperature.
If you room is cooler, then you may need to *** either some lighting that puts off a little heat, or a under tank heating pad on the side of the tank.

look through some of the build journals and read the care sheets for them. Have everything built, planted and the temps and humidity right before buying them. Bet way to get started and you learn alot about the tank setup before hand vise stressing them out later always trying to correct or change something.
