Darts for the dedicated beginner?

Sean Stewart is a good source for terribilis and alphaprobreeders

Thanks Don. You're right.

Here's a link for you, Baelari: Frogs main. It's an older article though.

I will also write you back as to where you can find Aaron's line of terribs. You can then make your choice.

I already checked with Alphapro breeders. They are out of Oranges right now. Although they have some pretty cool looking strawberrys.

Thanks for all the help

It seems like petco is due for another 1$ per gallon sale if they do them about twice a year. I think I might wait for it and get a tank then. I think a 40 gallon breeder would be as big as I could fit into my apartment with a little rearranging. Do you think think this would be too ambitious to start with, or is it easier to plant and plan at this size?

Bigger is better. I am in the process of redoing my darts in either 33x17x20 (about 50 gallons) or 45x17x20 (65 gallons) custom tanks. Having a larger enclosure allows for more options in hardscaping and planting, increased surface for microfauna to colonize, and the creation of more stable microhabitats (areas of higher or lower temperature, humidity, light, etc.) than a small enclosure.

I agree with Tony. The bigger the better. Don't be afraid to try different settings with your tank before the frogs arrive. If you can play with it, plant it, rearrange it a few times if needed, and seed springtails a good month before the frogs arrive, you will have a good idea of how well the humidity is controled in it, and the temp, and springtails will have a bit of time to colonize... And it's better to do any adjustments before the arrival of the frogs.
