Eh. Dart frogs are awesome and all but I am not 100% sure if they're a great first frog. I'm not saying they're REALLY demanding or anything, because they're not, and it's actually probably worth a try. Something tells me you're looking for a colorful vivarium pet-maybe you could start out with a tree frog of some sort? Just a suggestion-I am absolutely NOT trying to discourage you from dart frogs.
