    I think you will be surprised in knowing the Millipedes are adventurous but I don't think they will attempt to venture into the water. They may avoid it all together. Some may pass away I'm not going to lie but I think many would thrive. Another thing to consider with Millipedes which nobody considers.

    Millipedes have predatory mites that protect them from parasites and such. If your soil were to have something like this the mites could potentially kill the parasites and be an added protection to the frogs. I cannot confirm their predatory mites kill and eat nematodes and such but it is very possible which would be pretty cool. Not only will the Millipedes clean decaying plant matter but could produce protection. Something cool to think about!

    I think you should check out the glass frog. You can see it's organs it has transparent skin.

    Checkout a diff plant it's native to South America and it would be the best plant for native tree frogs to that area. It's a plant that can be submerged in water all it's life and it grows as tall as you want.
    You are definitely swaying me towards the millipedes! I think it would be pretty awesome to look and see a millipede on a branch or crawling on the leaf litter. I;ve always wanted a millipede actually.

    QUESTION: Breeding. One thing I would hate is to be overrun by millipedes, like duckweed. What are their breeding habits?

    I have seen the Glass Frog before, very cool! Still, Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are one of my favorite frog of all time. I have never kept them with Poison Frogs before, so I am curious how they react.

    Sorry I am bombarding you with questions...

    If you have a small group they would do okay. Like 3-5 Millipedes would not necessarily overrun the enclosure. They may breed more readily since you'll be creating the native habitat for them and mine is one they invaded so you'll see probably different behavior.

    If they would produce offspring you could sell some or culture them for a future build. I think these are one of the most beautiful Millipedes how colorful they are and the match the yellow of your dart frogs!

    Checkout the diff plant also I think you would be very interested in them. They would be a nice addition. Should be easy to get too

    Sounds good! They are on the list.

    Where would I get them? Do you know a breeder?

    For the Millipedes or the plant?

    Two places sell the Bumblebee Millipedes that I would recommend.

    Bugs in Cyberspace
    Josh's Frogs

    I got 2 from Bugs in Cyberspace. I'll be doing business with both companies.
