    Default Newbie - looking for recommendations

    Hi guys,

    New to the forum. I have a biopod "terra" coming in May. Thinking about poison dart frogs as pets. I'll have the biopod in an office environment. Pretty laid back here but I wondered how realistic this is. Raising fruit flies might be a problem if its too difficult. How difficult is it and can I keep them contained? Any other reservations or recommendations? Any and all comments welcome! Thanks!

    Welcome! How big is the biopod? That will be a main factor in what poison dart frog you can get. (There are probably hundreds of different species in the pet trade). Also, have you ever kept frogs before? If not, I would recommend a bit more forgiving frog, as darts have a reputation of being a challenging pet. Also, get an account on the forum dendroboard, that is a forum dedicated to dart frogs. Good luck! (P.S. fruit flies are super easy to breed, just buy a couple cultures at the store and they will last you up to about a month)

    It is 21 gal. in size (24.74 wide x 18.5 high x 15.5 deep). The habitat is climate-controlled (temperature, light, humidity, misting, etc.). Here is the website: http://biopod.org/

    I'll check out the dendroboard.

    That's a nice size, you could fit 3-4 medium size terrestrial dart in it! (ex. Tinctorius, leucamelas, maybe Terriblis or Vittius) good luck! Dart frogs are very rewarding pets.
