People should mention lifespan more often in videos like this. These little guys live a looong time, like 12-15yrs, I believe. It's quite a commitment. Darts are amazing though. I love the enclosures as much as the frogs, the good ones that is.
Many can get over 20 years old with proper care
Agreed. Many creators only mention it with stuff that can outlive you like parrots or tortoises.
Wow I didn't know they lived that long. I figured 5-7 years max. That's very good to know
Thank you for this comment. I had assumed it would be closer to that of a hamster.
I need ur opinion man.. i have two poisons and they’re roughly abt 4-6 months old. One of them got huge and is fat, the other one is shy and always hiding and is small skinny and fragile and doesnt move much. Im so scared for the little skinny one, i have her in quartine rn to see if she’ll eat when the other one isnt there. Can you please give me some advice?😢 (i feed them both tiny micro crickets)
Dart frogs is a species I’ve always wanted to keep but have just never dropped the hammer on yet. They’re so beautiful. Great video Adam!
I had an exo terra 12x12x18 laying around & wanted to keep something in it, but I was really limited. It was originally for my crested gecko when she was a baby, & after finding Josh's Frogs I was introduced to the wonderful world of thumbnail dart frogs. I did research on the most bold & beautiful thumbnails & chose R. imitator "Tarapoto". It's been such a joy though there aren't many sources specifically about the smaller guys, especially breeding, which mine started almost immediately. It's a goal of mine to post to TH-cam about it / my pets :)
Dart Frogs are awesome. I love our Phyllobates vittatus, they are colourful, active and their call is beautiful. Our group of five have been providing us with lots of tadpoles/froglets. To be honest, I love all our frogs: Dendrobates tinctorius, Dendrobates cobalts and Ranitomeya sirensis! 🐸🐸🐸
can't go wrong with a dart frog!
@@WickensWickedReptilesday 8 of asking for a leopard gecko and African fat tailed gecko hybrid video
000
The frogs are gorgeous. The setups are beautiful and very well thought out.
I don't have a poisoned dart frog, nor do I ever plan on getting one but somehow I can't stop watching this video 😭
thank you! I love these little froggos!
i used this video's info to help me keep a pair of santa isabelas since roughly the same time last year, and i love them and their songs :))
I love their call!
My favorite dart is the bumblebee! To me they are so cute with their black masked faces and yellow "hats" on top. Ours are quite bold too. Feeding-wise, if you want to look into it, you can try bean beetles. They're easy to keep and gives the darts some variety.
Mine absolotely *hated* the beetles. They would catch them, spit them out and ignore ever after.
Bu yes, pinheads are the worst: they get everywhere.
So I'll stick to both varieties or fruitflies, aphids etc. (Bioactive bottoms, so they probably snack on the pillbugs as well.)
@@muurrarium9460 Heb je een terrarium in je uur gebouwd? Awesome man.
@@danny9905 Nah, staan in zo'n alu-stelling. ;)
@@muurrarium9460 Haha, ook gaaf man!
@@danny9905 Ohja, helaas zijn de bakken zo oud dat de kit uit elkaar valt :(( en nieuwe kosten een godsvermogen...
I got my first dart frog (Dendrobates azureus) at an expo last summer and he/she is so entertaining. I love watching feeding time!
I love em!
These are very social frogs, don't keep him/her (check the toe"caps") as a solo-animal plze.
It isn't just not mixing species but localities we don't want to Localities to get muddy.
Awesome to see dart frogs get more coverage!
I have to say that at least one of those Azureus looks alarmingly skinny. Of course I don’t know about the background of that frog but I’d definitely separate it from the rest of the group immediately, especially since tinctorius are known to be territorial and bully each other.
You’re right. He was super skinny. I took this footage the day I got them. They are big fat bois now
@@WickensWickedReptiles Glad to hear he’s doing better :)
I’ve been waiting for this! Pumped to watch it. Thanks man!
Love the shirt Adam and I hope you are having an awesome week.
Been waiting for this video, also your a great TH-camr
Very interesting, thanks for putting out this info and letting us know about other things we need to look into. 👍
This was GREAT! I love how upbeat you've been of late. It was a wonderful video...and now...I want dart frogs‼️
Thanks! I am about to consider purchasing and starting to learn. The Thumbnails have my heart
Hopping Jewels. Very pretty. Great information too! Thanks!
Love it bud smashing video
Love the dart frogs! Great video as always. Will try darts one day.
I appreciate all of your knowledge I am a small reptile TH-camr you are my biggest inspiration so thank you for giving me this opportunity
I appreciate that!
Nature is awesome! I ❤ how it never ceases to amaze. "Living art," like literally having a piece of the Amazon in your home. Thanks, throughly enjoyed this video 👌
Dart frogs are my favourite terrestrial frog! Awesome care guide! Your the best Adam!
Dart Frogs are freaking amazing! There obviously my favorite amphibian and I found this content very helpful!
Beautiful clips of the frogs! This is a great video
Many thanks!
I have had my 2 dart frogs since summer and they are amazing :)
Oh dear. I didn't think I'd get pulled in by frogs, but you have me doing extra research now. I'm pretty sure I have dart frogs in my future.
Go for it!
Good video, I have a very active very bold breeding group of 4 Ranitomeya Variabilis Southern in a 36x18x18, beautiful entertaining species. I'm currently converting an old 35 gallon hex aquarium into a front opening viv (definitely a bit of work pulling off this conversion & setup but I'm happy with how it's coming out) for all the froglets building up lol, think I have around 15 froglets right now and another 20 tadpoles lol.
Great information. I really like the bumble bee dart frogs. Im getting a 20 gallon tank set up so I can get some next month at the reptile show in Lodi California in Febuary if someone is selling them.
Otherwise I will order from Josh.
Thank you for all the information. I subscribed.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done!! I love my leucomelas. Soon to be adding more enclosures for future dart frogs. I am unsure which species at this time.
@@Thebusterer probably a Patreon member.
Beautiful filming. 📹
Mr. Adam Sir. I keep Dendrobates tinctorius 'Citronella'. I love em. Your video was spot on.
When I made up my terrarium using spray foam and dry lock, I added some medicine pill bottles, the red/orange ones you get for prescriptions, and embedded them in the foam. I cut off the back sides, so it was a hollow tube. I embedded them in the foam. The frogs LOVE these as hides. What is really nice, too, is that if you get them flush against the back/side of the terrarium, you can then view them in the hide from the side/back of the terrarium. Gives a neat perspective.
I also added a couple of inches of a rock layer, with a substrate barrier in mine. With the humidity that high, it is a good idea.
For the humidity, I just used a cheap party fogger that I found on Amazon for $40. Put it on a timer, and it works great.
Your content is great. Not too sure about why you felt you had to mention that you shouldn't put dart frogs in your orifices, but whatever. lol
Keep up the great work.
Yay my next pet! Can’t wait to build another bioactive for these guys 😀
Love your frog video's dude
Couldnt have come at a better time!
I'm planning to pick up a few at my local expo next week
Just ordered my Ranitomeya imitator and I’m so excited !
such a cool species!
I keep dart frogs. I find most of us are really get into the enclosures more than probably any of the other group of pet hobbyists. Probably a third of posts of Facebook groups are about the enclosures themselves.
You are the best TH-camr ever wicked wickens reptile have a awesome day have a cool day have a absolutely wonderful day great work wicked wickens reptile
Hello your my favorite TH-camr you inspired me to make my own channel thank you
Love your fog videos!
More to come!
I call them hopping jewels, unlike hummingbirds are flying jewels,lol. They are so beautiful, and I hope you share more about them in the future. Thanks so much!
Nice video👍👍👍
great video!
thanks!
YOU GAVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Gorgeous creatures!
I think so too!
Awesome video, Adam! I surprisingly don’t have any dart frogs (yet..) 😅 Primarily because I know that, if I get one species, it’ll snowball into me wanting more! 😂
So true! I got one species and now have so many
Poisons dart frogs are so cute
So beautiful these little guys are 💜
these are so beautiful & you're actually the reason my husband has decided to actually get a frog of any sort. he enjoys dart frogs..... and will hopefully one day be on board with me getting whites tree frogs?😂🤞🏼
Dart frogs are awesome pets. My favorite is dendrobates tinctorius or ‘tincs”. They are large, bold and great eaters.
We have D auratus, and we love them. One of them is actually pretty bold, the other two are newer and younger, and still hide quite a bit. But they are so fun to watch, and they're a major talking point anytime we have company.
In addition to fruit flies, we also feed them confused flour beetles, which are incredibly easy to maintain a constant supply of, even easier than fruit flies.
I love this species
auratus are the kind i am looking at if/when I get into it. Nice to meet someone else that appreciates that kind.
Love my Oophaga pumilio punta laurels! Although i also love my Phyllobates vittatus. The punta laurels seem to be a little more personable
I dont have dart frogs yet, but am in planning stages.. i think i love them all! 😂 ive noticed your humidifier in your room behind you and ive been meaning to ask... what do you keep your humidity levels out in your room. Im guessing its because it winter and super dry? I live in wisconsin and have same issue
Ur my favorite TH-camr
Me and my boyfriend we've been planning on getting Dart frogs for months, but we just can't decide what species to get :( Thanks for your amazing videos, it always helps ! :)
I love all the important information you give about the different reptiles and amphibians. I think it would be amazing if more people/keepers/TH-camrs would actually show how to setup the tank/enclosure. Information is Great!! But I know some people, like myself, are very visual and could use a visual tutorial/information.
I love your TH-cam channel
I personally don't plan on keeping any frogs, but if I did, it would definitely be dart frogs. Great video, love learning about them. I didn't know they could get too wet, I assumed since they're amphibians that you wouldn't have to worry about it being too humid. Learned something new
Thanks for watching!
Ya know i always loved frogs really enjoy your content on them always thought a frog named yotzee covered in lil dots would be cute
Thanks Adam, I just got 2 Azureus about 2 months ago, they are great but almost never see them, I hope this changes as the get older. Anyway great channel
It will for sure !
Azureus!! My fave!
Great video. I don't keep them but they are so pretty.
They sure are
I love my Dendrobates Tinctorius
can you showcase the santa isabels terrarium please ? how it works, how did u built the runing water sistem?
Do you think you could do a video of reptile enrichment I think it would be really cool
already have, enjoy!
I'm currently building a new enclosure for my day gecko and have been contemplating adding some frogs. Geckos and snakes are easy, frogs seem like work lol
My favorite is tincs
I don't keep dart frogs, only Japanese fire bellied toads. Very interesting care guide. Thank-you.
I don't have dart frogs because my parents don't see them as pets and I don't have the space. But I like the blue ones.
I love them too
Did you sea Ryan trahans new video it also includes dart frogs
Your video was great. I am inspired again 12:37 12:37
My dart frogs have lived for years at 82
so how do you navigate the grow light and glass lid situation?? :))))
Can u make a vid about abronias please im gon get one
I LOVE FROGS
I am considering dart frogs for my pet, I would like keep strawberry ones.
more poison dart frog content please
ok!!
I am looking to start an enclosure of dart frogs. I want to keep it in my classroom to go along with my science lessons (I teach 2nd grade). I have not owned any amphibians before. I enjoyed this video because I have no idea what to do about a tank. Are there any other tips I should keep in mind for this?
how do you keep the temprature in the terrarium ?
do you use a heat matt or heat lamp ?
thx.
A video of CHE vs DHP vs halogens and wat would be the best lighting/set up for u
cool idea!
@@WickensWickedReptiles thanks it's actually a issue iv been dealing with and figured I couldn't be the only one that may benefit from a in-depth video of different heating and lighting sources pros and cons of each wat works best with wat pets ECT and iv been watching ur videos for about 6 months now and u seem to always go above and beyond for not only ur animals but also ur fans so thought I'd drop the idea
I adore my Ranitomeya imitator Varaderos
I want mint terribilis. I saw some in person and they almost look shimmery green. They’re so beautiful. I’ll have some one day but I need to be sure I’m ready. I know they’re super sensitive and I don’t want to kill them.
I absolutely love this species
I’ve always wanted to keep Gold Mantellas
after hearing how much pricy they can get with proper set up I think I might wait a month or two before actually geting them or maybe I will decide on different frog.
Just got a baby bearded dragon. He's a red one. Looking to get a Leppard gecko. Or a dirt frog
i’m so upset i can’t have these guys in australia, i would do anything to keep a few skittles :(
same, I live in canada, can't even have axolotols.
I had planned not to get PDFs, even though I'm apparently "Frog Guy" to all my friends (not complaining), but I see green D. auratus in my dreams, sooooooo.....
Would a 12x12x18 work for a smaller species? For a pair maybe?
I don’t own any dart dogs at present but my husband is interested…I admit to not knowing the species names but the blue ones seem to be his favorite
They are pretty cool!
thinking about a new pet, as my 12y 3mth dog is fading out with his final illness. yesterday we were at the reptile/aquarium center picking up a pump and i was looking hard at dart frogs, somthing ive thought of before. who knows when ill be ready and how i will feel
How do you keep the fruit flies in the enclosure with a screen lid, is the mesh small enough that they don’t escape?
Where’d you get your San Isabels? They’re my favorite species and I’ve been thinking about getting a few🐸
A Kijiji deal
@@WickensWickedReptiles thanks, do you know any shops with them near Texas
4:25 they need more hides. All of that is good but in the wild they have multiple places to go and run to in the case of a predator. They hang around stumps, terrestrial bromeliads, burrows, rocks, stuff like that on hills and flat ground. So when making your vivarium put as many hides as you can in your back ground (foaming on cork rounds is a perfect way to do this) and then have crevices and plenty hides in the back of the bottom of the tank (stacked cork once again is a great way to do this). Have large leaf litter rather than small obviously. And plants, aroids, bromeliads especially, ect are good
I've been to where these are in the wild, they hide under leaf litter and low hanging leaves. Offer as much leaf litter as shown and you're golden. :)
@@WickensWickedReptiles they do hide under that but often have other hides to retreat to other than a coconut half, leaf litter, and plants. They will take advantage of any extra hides you give them in captivity. Leaf litter, plants, and coconut half is all great things to have (except when you have too small of leaf litter for the frog to hide under which I don't think you do I just see many people that do) but more hides will be appreciated by these frogs and in the wild they will have more hides and ways to escape a predator than just this. You've been to where they are, I don't know if you observed what's around them when you find them but often it's a burrow, wood, rock, or a bromeliad or heavy foliage to escape into. they don't just live out in the open for any predator or thing to snatch them up. And if they don't have many hides in their tank you should provide a lot of large leaf litter for all the hiding they need.
A lot of people don’t recommend mist systems because of fungus and different bacteria’s that can become aerosolized. What do you think??
Can you mix species
So im in the process of building a a 40 breeder, ive been watching your videos for a few weeks now. The other day i came across a video of yours saying that you can cohab dart frogs with mourning geckos. So my question is are there specific dart frogs that share similar parameters with Mourning geckos? Or is this doable with most darts? Thanks. Your videos are great, super informative, and inspirational!
thanks so much for watching!
They are fine with most denrobates species. I would avoid thumbnail (could be a snack for mourning geckos) and I would avoid terribilis since they can get big enough to eat the young of mourning geckos
What can I use as a background I don’t want to do the spray foam and shave it like others do. Do you recommend anything
universal rocks?
Is distilled and spring water ok? I've used those two no issues.
I would like to get tree frogs would like you to talk about them
Oh hey is that a Playa de Oro in the thumbnail?
What's a good beginner dart frog that's pretty quiet? I'm really interested in getting into dart frogs but I live in an apartment and can't have a species that is very loud
