I would say go for tree frogs. Darts are really for moderate-expert keepers. Tree frogs are great for beginners because they are pretty flexible as far as care goes. You should although do a lot of research before buying one/ a few. And I mean A LOT of homework. Good luck, and welcome to the frog hobby.

lol sounds like you have it down to a science. Is there such a thing as a "too big viv," because I found a nice one for a reasonable price and it is huge. Here is a link Terrarium Setup

Is the entire inside lined w/ glass?
If used for tree frogs, all the electrical/heat generating lights etc, would have to be removed from the interior.
How is it ventilated ??

I don't think it is lined with glass, and I and not sure about the ventilation (I will check with the seller). For the lights, I would probably use a glass divider of some sort to block off the frogs. Good point though, thanks

great advice all round once again in regards to the initial question I know so little about dart frogs, but would like to own one myself one day, the unfortunate thing is Australia does not allow for the recreational keeping of these beautiful little fella's.

I own an array of tree frogs including 3 whites tree frogs, 1 white lipped tree frog, 1 peron's tree frog and 1 tyler's tree frog, all Australian ofcourse.

in my experience tree frogs are generally quite easy and a perfect beginner frog, providing the conditions are conducive to their natural environment.

if I had to give you an answer as to the easiest to look after, I would definitely say my whites are the easiest of all my frogs by a long way. the others can be very jumpy if you try to handle them and tricky to catch if they make a break for it, lmfao.

although I try to keep the handling of my frogs to a bare minimum, it is sometimes a necessity ( cleaning the tanks etc. ) whites are very comfortable around people as they are often found in and around houses and the like. It is easier for me to handle them at night obviously and I don't force them to come to me or try and catch them, they are so tolerant of me now that if I just sit my hand in and around them with a gentle nudge they most often then not will climb onto my hand

I know that these frogs can be taught to hand feed, but I personally am not comfortable with this and I try to leave them to their own instincts when I chuck their food in. I would not want them to become reliant on me hand feeding them in case of things beyond my control. as far as water changes and misting the tanks etc. they are not jumpy at all, I can move in and around the tanks without them battling an eyelid, so to speak. I have a pretty big one Max ( around 10 centimeters and chubby haha ) and over time she has become just as laid back and easy to handle as my first one Steve who is less than half her size ( and in another tank as I don't want him eaten ).
