My major annoyance with dart frogs has been their owners. And I am not talking about all owners. It's a bit sad the reputation that dart frogs end up getting because of a number of their owners. These frogs are wonderful, I own a pair of vents, and they are by far my favorites (I just hope my other frogs don't hear me). Like Cheri said, they are bold, active, fun to look at. They are also diurnal. Mine have been courting for over 2 weeks now. They are also quite easy to care for, once you have set up the proper enclosure and you get comfortable with the fruit flies part of their main diet.

This being said, there's something of a snob aspect to owning these frogs, like Rocko said. And that has little to do with these wonderful creatures. I have stopped going on dendroboard because of that slightly over the top pride that some have about darts. Again, it's not everyone.

They really are not difficult to keep. Azureus are very hardy, for example...
