Heh, that's weird. I'm 14 too. Well, I can't help you with all those questions, as I haven't kept darts yet, but I can help a little more with the ATB's. Their humidity needs to be pretty high, but I'm not sure about an actual number. I've got mine set up with coconut fiber as a substrate, pvc for branches, a few fake plants, and saran wrap over half of the top. I think they need around the same humidity as darts, but I'm not completely sure. Also, all my ATB's I have right now are yearlings, and they eat frogs viciously, but I'm not sure about adults. With that much space, they may never see the frogs. Then again, they could also smell them one day and eat them during the night. Also, in my experience ATB's prowl around the whole tank (including the floor) all night, every night. So even if during the day it looks like they stay in the trees all the time, it's a totally different story during the night. And about the large water area, yes, you should definitely put driftwood in it, a few pieces at least. Darts aren't exactly water frogs. Hypothetically, this idea could work, but then again, I wouldn't want to try it, because there are so many variables, and this is a lot of money that could be lost with a tank (enclosure is a better word I guess) of this size, so many animals in it, and all the other time, money, and care you would put into this. Personally, I would just keep these species seperate, as ATB's love frogs as meals, and if the frogs just happened to have sold as CB but were really WC then you would have lost a frog and a snake.
