Posted by: Slaytonp at Tue Jan 8 20:26:06 2008 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Slaytonp ] Some of the suggestions given by Lotters, et al in POISON FROGS, Biology, Species and Captive Husbandry, for mixing dart frogs with other anureans or reptiles is small nocturnal geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) which will consume at night the feeder animals left over from feeding the darts during the day, or diurnal dwarf geckos such as Sphaerodactylus and Gonatodes. They also suggest the small rain forest dwelling species of anoles, or Afro-tropical dwarf chameleons of the genera Brookesia and Rhampholeon. Also listed are tree frogs of the Dendropsophus leucophyllatus group, smaller species of Phyllomedusa, or dwarf toads (Dendrophryniscus minutes.) Mixing shouldn't be attempted in any but a very large, well planted vivarium. Keep in mind that we are essentially attempting to crowd a rain forest environment of many meters and diversity into a miniaturized space measured in centimeters. The fact that it can, and has been done successfully at all, is rather amazing to me. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
