Thanks again! Youre a big help! I have plenty of time to prepare for this by keeping each species individually, I'm only 14, 15 in a few weeks. I would only attempt this after college, owning my own house, a job... I know this type of setup would require $$$ in the thousands, and not to mention quie a lot of maintanence for misters, timers, lights, water, plants, feeding...



But some ATB questions I still have... How much humidity do they need? If its anywhere around what darts need, this might be possible. And how often to they go on the ground? Should they at all unless something is wrong? And since they get over 5 feet, would they even bother trying to eat itty bitty dart frogs, or even red eyed tree frogs? I still doubt this, especially if the snake is well fed. But I really dont know much about ATBs or darts yet.



Also for you dart keepers... would if I had a large millipede or orchid/flower praying mantis? Would they effect the darts in any way? From my limited knowledge, the mantis would stay on or near its resident flower and wouldnt bother with frogs anyway. And would they millipede get scared enough to secrete its poison, and wouldnt it just eat old poop and food scraps?



Do any of you have 'accents' in your vivs? Mushrooms, jungle starts, odd vines or the like? Any suggestions for accents would be helpful!



ONE LAST QUESTION lol. If I had a deep water area, say 30 gallons, with several fish like barbs, tetras, and corydoras, would it hurt the frogs? Should I place a peice of driftwood to prevent drowning?
