    Ill definitely keep those in mind when i consider getting some darts . I put quotation marks around it because i was quoting what you put about the tricolor dart

    Remember Tom, Scientific names are always in Italics, Bold or both in some cases. Locality variations are put into quotations, like the following Epipedobates tricolor 'Zarayunga'.

    I must agree, 'Santa Isabel' is a nice locality! But I don't think you have seen my 'Zarayunga'

    Yeh, tbh im not sure why i put them there myself XD. it seems quite a few people sell them in the uk. It says that you can house between 6-8 in an 18 inch tall viv, is this true?

    They are incredibly common within the pet trade, price range varying dramatically from £10-£40 depending who you are dealing with, some people expect to much. Despite their categorisation of Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, they are common as muck and potentially hybridised with the similar species, Epipedobates anthonyi.

    I recommend that you house that many specimens within a 3ft x 2ft x 2ft Terrarium.

    Wow, they're beautiful! I really like the blue coloring on the underside of the legs
