Getting Started with Darts

[nos187]

Hey there!!

Welcome to the dart side of frogging!! =)

I am glad to hear you have taken an interest into the dart frogs as i have. A couple
of months ago my world was taken by these frogs. I sat there gleaming with interest
and desire for them! Needless to say, i finally finished my first vivarium not to long
ago.Thank god for these forums or i would have made a billion mistakes building a
dart home.Sadly, i am still sitting here without frogs waiting for my vivarium to grow in.
I have it posted in the vivarium/terrarium section of the forums under 18x18x24 build
if you would like to see. Bahh here i go rambling again!

Glad to see you have taken an interest in the cobalts! They are a very beautiful morph
and from what i have read very bold and active! Hopefully, cobalts will be my second
dart frog. You must update us on your frogs =). I cannot wait to see them!

Take care,

-Kevin

The female Cobalt is located locally so Stanton can get her right away. A boy will be mailed once it is cool enough...ya know Texas. Cobalts are my favorite frogs...so bold and active all the time. I hope he enjoys his as much as I enjoy mine. Here is a picture of the wood I sent and a layout design possibility. Two fruit fly cultures will be provided by the lady with the female Cobalt and Joshs Frogs will be supplying all other Fruit Fly supplies, ABG soil, leaf litter, springtails, isopods, and misc other needed supplies. I sent five bags of the LECA so that should be enough for the 29 gallon although Stanton keeps going bigger. Its good to see someone venturing into a whole new world of the frog hobby.

Oh your both going to have much fun with this build and thread.
Can't wait to watch as things transpire.
Hey, did I spell transpire right... hmmmm

Dear Stanton,

Congratulations in winning the Care Sheet contest. You will now be the proud owner of a Dendrobate tinctorius "Cobalt". Wonderful! As these little creatures are very important to me, here are a few things you should know:

1. Tincts are from the Slytherin House of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
2. When you sleep, they sit on your chest, and they will steal your breath.
3. Tincts only speak Spanish. Or in Tongues.
4. Little known fact: they are responsible for the Black Plague.
5. Prone to paranoia, consider making aluminum foil helmets for them.
6. Tincts are Keyser Soze.

So there, I hope these random facts will help you live in perfect harmony with your new frog.

That is some very interesting information there, Eric (LOL).

I finally got the video of the Dart Frogs up and running! One of those females will be mine in less than a month hopefully!

Here is the video

Enjoy!

Slytherin has the coolest mascot/colors, imo.

Just as one more side note - I really want to see those little frogs in tinfoil hats. Seriously.

Geez, I didn't realize how blah that video is. The frogs are so much more colorful. I'll see if I can video with a different camera (or maybe different settings) and post it as well.

cya!

Stanton, I wanted to point you to a video on YouTube of Cobalt courting behavior. In this case, it's actually quite funny, on the verge of hysterical. You'll enjoy ~
