Even if the Amazon tree boas specialize in birds, unless you have a really vast space, such as a large virtual rain forest conservatory or greenhouse, I think it is likely that you would encounter some problems with territory and stress with any of the dart frogs I can think of. It would be very difficult to monitor them in a large space.

Of course you would want to get some experience with raising the dart frogs of choice separately before you invest in something that costly. You will find that most dart species will generally utilize all of the space that most of us are able to give them in a "living room hobby" situation. My largest tank is 180 gallons, and they don't neglect an inch of it. I know nothing about Amazon tree boas and their territorial habits, so this is just from the dart frog perspective, from my own hobby experiences with a few of the species.

You might also want to get the direct opinions of some of the people who post about mixed habitats. The majority of these seem to be in Europe, especially the Netherlands/Holland. I've lost track of the specific web sites, but if I come across any, I will let you know.
