    It's me again,

    You can call your frogs what ever you want to
    I refer to my leucs as "mountain goats" because they think they're tree frogs.

    Actually, I assumed you were talking about D leucomelas.
    It could have been bumble bee walking toads ( Melanophryniscus stelzneri ) that are the same colors but in need of completely different care.

    If you think the spelling is bad .... the pronunciation is worse.
    Billy can do it on the fly !
    I, on the other hand need the Anura version of 'Rosetta-Stone'

    Good luck with them ----keep us posted

    Safe shipping of frogs is expensive no matter what especially in the winter, if you list your location we might be able to find you someone whom is close.

    If you are in Chicago there are tons of people and about 1 person in every other city.

    As far as your original question, think of it like this...You are now living in your clothes closet. Once a day the doors are open and you are fed and given water. You'd like to move about some but there really isn't enough room to jump, do sit-ups, or even stretch.

    You could successfully keep 2 D. Leucomela in a ten gallon tank if you designed it right, but why do it. No frog lives within a 20"x10" footprint for any length of time. A ten gallon tank is fine as a quarantine container or to grow-out froglets but it's not really a good choice for Leucs. One reason is that they like to climb too much.

    You are better off getting a 20 gallon tall. Please do not try and cut corners in regards to trying to saving money. It's better to wait and save up enough money for all the good quality components that you will need for the tank then just trying to throw something together and getaway with it. Whenever I plan on setting up a new enclosure the first thing I do is buy the right size enclosure for the frogs I want to keep. Then maybe a week or two later I buy the ABG mix and the micro fauna. Maybe another couple weeks later I'll buy all the plants and leaf litter and wood features that I'll be using. Then after everything is put together I wait. I wait for at least 4-5 weeks for everything to grow in and for all the micro fauna to establish itself.

    The shake and bake approach that most beginners attempt to getaway with doesn't fly with me! I am saying this in general and to anyone thinking about getting into dart frogs; if supplies, frogs and shipping are too expensive for you then maybe this isn't the right animal for you. I hear PacMan frogs are fun!!!
