Hello

[Gary Bridgeman]

Hi there,

I'm Gary, pleased to "meet" you all.

I live in Brussels, Belgium, but I'm English and I have been here for seven years. I started reading about dart frogs about a year ago, and now have decided to create my first vivarium.

I've already got a 16X16X20 enclosure, with a glass top from a friend. But not sure if this is tall/big enough?

My plan is to spend some time getting the environment right and letting the plants healthy before I get any frogs. If the above isn't big enough I will use this to practice planting and managing the environment.

Cheers

Gary

Hello Gary,
Welcome to Frog Forum !

Hello and welcome to FF Gary . That size is too small for adult Darts and would only work to raise recently morphed froglets. We recommend 45Lx45Wx60H cm. enclosure; specially for beginners. The extra height is required because you will loose approximately 15 cm. height to drainage/false bottom and substrate layers. Could get away with 45 cm. tall enclosure only for terrestrial darts; but the plants will have little height to grow .

Thanks!

Is there anything I could use that size for?
