I like those beautiful blue dart frogs. I have read they are a good beginner dart frog.
id love any suggestions about easy keepers.
There are two tiger-legged monkey frogs, Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis and P. tomopterna. The cheaper and more common one is hypochondrialis, this is the one I have. Phyllomedusa tomopterna is less common, and some would say it is much prettier, as the black and orange barring continues further up the side of the body than it does is in P. hypochondrialis.
I have never kept any of the mossy treefrogs (Theloderma sp), so I don't know how hardy they are. The most common is the Vietnamese (Theloderma corticale).
Blue poison darts (Dendrobates tinctorius, formerly D. azureus) are an excellent starter dart frog. You will need to culture fruit flies though, but if you do it right, you will only have to do it once. The husbandry on darts is different than that of treefrogs. They like things a lot more humid than treefrogs, so do your research before taking them on.
All these frogs are fairly common on the Kingsnake.com classifieds.
