    Default My new dart frog enclosure

    My wife and I just purchased 6 Dendrobates leucomelas today at the Charlotte Reptile show today. We finished our tank not too long ago and we are very happy with the new frogs. Here are some pics of our new additions and the tank. This is the first time we have kept darts and that is our first time making a vivarium so any feed back or suggestions would be great.

    I like it! What's the background made of? I can't quite pin it down. One thing about leucs is that they like to climb more than any other large dart. Maybe try to put some climbing opportunities in there for them.

    Best of luck!

    Thanks a lot guys! The background is great stuff covered in coco fiber. Yeah i want to put some more on the walls and maybe some vines running across some sections of the tank. We are also wanting to put some tillandsias or something on the background for something to break up the plain brown. The 3 vines that are planted in there should grow in and help with that some but i would also like to add a little more color.

    I like some of the smaller unusually colored Bromeliads since my Leucs like to sleep in them.
    Tropiflora Has some really cool stuff that I was looking into ordering.
