Wow Geomyda, that sounds amazing. I just have the one called Pip, who was given to me last year. He had no heat, greenery or anything in his tank and I was told he was boring and did nothing. But I kitted out his home and although I don't get t see him up and about much I think he's great. Love how he can sleep suck half way up the glass side

One night we started hearing this odd but loud noise and a few day later realized it was Pip

On warm wet evenings in Summer this sound can be heard for a very long distance.

Captive dart frogs do not usually have the toxins. Naturalists think the toxins come from the ants they eat in the wild.

These frogs are amazingly inquisitive, today I gave them a new Easter log and within minutes all five were investigating their new bit of territory:
