Dendrobates and Ranitomeya

[niake]

Hi
Can you have Dendrobates auratus and Ranitomeya variabilis house together ??

You'll probably catch an earful for suggesting that. I would be hesitant to mix any species of dart frog, but in the case of a thumbnail with a larger frog, I would be afraid the thumbnails would be overly stressed by being around a large frog all the time. Terrariums are pretty tiny habitats and the two frog species would be constantly aware of each other.

okay I'm not on the mixing i have 0.2.0 D. auratus 'Caribean' they are so shy.

In all objectivity, I wouldn't do it. But I've seen it. And I've seen it in very serious, well-known and respected herpetologists' terrariums.

I'm not saying you should. I am simply reporting the fact. Don't shoot the messenger.

okay I'm not going to mix this. thanks for your post..
Do you have any suggestions for not shy species ?..
Have a 18” x 18” x 24” exo-terra without any frogs..

Vents are bold, quite bold. I'm biased. I'm loving mine.

Cobalts are very bold and active. They are front and center all day. But they are little beggers ...always wanting food.
