Getting Started with Darts

[DonLisk]

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 ~

LOL! Such a cute video! I can't wait to see similar behavior at my house.

The package frog Cheri arrived today! Everything looks fine. Here are some pictures of what she sent me:




I am pretty sure everything got here fine. I got the 2 pieces of wood, the calcium powder, the digital thermometer/hygrometer, TONS of LECA, the gift cards, the substrate brick, and a nice little coconut hut (as well as some reciepts).

I can't wait to run to PETCO and get the 30 gallon tank!! This is going to be a great project!!

[MeTree]

Hey guys. I got back from PETCO with the 29g tank and lid. There was some questions about costs that are still being looked into. Hopefully we can get that cleared up.

Anyway, I have the tank and lid. Pictures tomorrow. Now I am going to need step-by-step instructions on what to add in what order.

I know that we have been talking about different background methods. I didn't know which one we were going to go with. I don't have a problem with clay, as long as it wont take much longer than foam. I am just wondering if we would be using cat litter or that benitite stuff (I know I spelled that wrong). My mom has agreed to run me to Lowe's tomorrow, so we can get started on all that tomorrow. I will get my camera ready. I guess after we get the substrate in, I can take pictures of how the wood can go in there.

The packages with the soil mix and culture items didn't arrive today. I am sure it will come tomorrow, though. I will definately post when that comes in.

Today was reall nice, it actually rained for the the first time in 33 days. We were in a really bad drought. It was actually under 90*F during parts of today. I love good weather.

Anyway, tomorrow is hopefully going to be a very exciting day! I really look foward to it!!
