100% new to frogs, want to do a vivarium for some whites

One thing to keep in mind is most tree frogs are Nocturnal. Dart frogs are great for show tanks because they are up and about during the day. There are some very bold species that are awesome to watch do their thing

darts are still intimidating to me, at first I was like Omg big tank full of different colors, but there seems to be so many species and specifications. still on edge about them, lol

There are several darts that a great for beginners. The "hardest" part is culturing fruit flies. I put hardest in quotes because it isn't that hard. Just takes a bit of practice to get the timing down.

In My opinion a properly setup vivarium makes the care of any frog that much easier. I wouldn't shy away from Darts because you are nervous. I actually think setting up a dart tank is easier than a tree frog. Darts Love (require) high humidity (80 - 100%) so a glass top and misting is just about all you need to keep the humidity high. Tree frogs need the humidity around 70% and they need ventilation. It takes a bit of tweaking to dial a tank in so the humidity is fairly stable and they have the ventilation they need to be healthy.

If you go to Josh's Frogs website and look at the frogs they have for sale. There is a whole section they list as "Beginner Frogs". You should still do all the research you can stomach +50% more. The more you learn before you build the tank and buy the frogs the easier it will be and the happier your frogs will be. My first tank was a disaster which ultimately lead to me spending more money than I needed to get my first frogs housed correctly.

Once you settle on a frog and are ready to start building your tank I highly advise you to start a build thread on the forums. There you can ask all the questions you want/need as you get your tank setup. We can let you know what we think and give you tips that will keep you from repeating mistakes we have all made

You are already on the right track by asking questions now and researching!
