Dart pics

[Kurt]

I love the very first tinc. I get all confused over the names of all the different colour morphs of Dendrobates tinctorius. What kind is it?
Are darts all that you keep?
I have 3 myself, two "azureus" and one Suriname cobalt tinc. Plus twenty other frogs, some of which can be seen in my profile.

Hi Kurt,
I only keep darts, and most of those are Tincs. The one in the first pic is an oyapock (one of the dwarf tincs). Man, you have tons of frogs huh? Where do you find time for all of those? I had lots more and decided to focus on tnhe larger Tincs because they are much bolder than other darts.

Thankfully they are not as much work as darts. I also have 15 snakes, 1 lizard, 2 turtles, 4 salamanders, 11 fish, and 5 scorpions.

Goodness, darts are about the easiest thing I have ever kept and I am even a bit anal about it. I wipe my glass down once a week (because I like to have a clear view), spray once or twice a week, and feed daily/every other day depending on the season. Much easier than a lot of other pets! LOL What are the requirements for some of your frogs?

[Kurt]

I feed most of my frogs one a week, more if they seem to need it. I also keep the enclosures as simple as possible, plastic plants, paper town or sphagnum substrates. I use a lot of plastic "critter keepers", a few glass aquariums, and some Rubbermaid boxes.
I find treefrogs (the biggest groups of frogs I keep) need good ventilation, so no Rubbermaid boxes or glass tops for them. Most of the treefrogs are kept on paper towels, with a few exceptions on sphagnum. Once a day all "open air" enclosures are sprayed down with distilled water.
I keep the fire-bellied toad in Rubbermaid boxes with water about two inches deep. There are plastic plants and foam trays to rest on. I feed them outside their enclosures, crickets drown too easily.
Terrestrail frogs are kept on sphagnum. So this would be all my Bufonids, dart frogs, and Microhylids. Salamanders are also kept this way.

Here is the complete list of my amphibians
1 Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium, barred tiger salamander
1 Ambystoma tigrinum melanostictum, blotched tiger salamander
2 Tylototriton shanjing, emperor newt

5 Bombina orientalis, fire-bellied toad
1 Ollotis alvaria , Colorado River toad
1 Anaxyrus debilis insidior, western green toad (my avatar)
3 Dendrobates tinctorius, dyeing poison dart frog (two azureus, one cobalt)
2 Dendropsophus leucophyllatus, clown treefrog
1 Hyla cinerea, green treefrog
2 Litoria caerulea, White's treefrog
4 Agalychnis callidryas, red-eyed leaf frog
1 Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis, tiger-legged monkey frog
1 Leptopelis sp., big-eyed treefrog
3 Dyscophus guineti, false tomato frog
1 Phrynomantis bifasciatus, red-banded rubber frog

Would it be possible to post a few pics of your pets Kurt? I would love to check them out. What are the scorpions like (not that I want any, but I think they would be neat). I'll see if I can find some pics of a couple of my dart tanks for you too.

Here is a pic of my frogroom (It was supposed to keep all my frogs confined to one room...yeah right) and some random pics of various tanks throughout my house.
