Phyllobates terribilis

[nickc]

What is the minimum enclosure size for a pair of Phyllobates terribilis?

[John]

I would recommend a 20 gallon (40 Liters) "long" terrarium for a pair. You could actually keep 3 in that in my opinion. They don't climb a lot so they need lots of ground space, more than Dendrobates tinctorius. That's my experience and opinion.

ok thanks. i actually have a 20 long laying around so i might look into getting these frogs

[John]

What race of terribilis are they?

[nickc]

i dont have them yet but i was looking at the classifieds on kingsnake.com for the goldens

[John]

There are only 3 races of terribilis: yellow, mint, and orange. If someone is referring to a race as golden then you might want to run a photo by us to make sure it's not Phyllobates bicolor.

I've seen the name Golden terribilis name mentioned at several locations. They looked like a darker yellow then what you have John.

That's a race of bicolor - show me a photo and I'll tell you with 95% certainty.
