I started out easy too with firebelly toads. Now I keep adding frogs to my collection. eventually I'll be booted out of my house. These are my first darts. Cobalts are like begginer darts and much like the firebellied toads they are active and out there at all times. They are kept in my office at work so I needed something that was awake in the daytime. I paid extra for a sexed pair of adults...again just playing it safe. I never want to get in over my head. I like to learn as I go....slowly. Also, I really listen to the advice and suggestions of the members here. Its important to learn from other peoples mistakes not just your own.
