hi,
i have a 10 galon tank and im thinking about getting some darts.i was wondering where i could get some information on there care...are they difficult to care for?i read alot about herps and was looking for another herp to add to a newly started collection. also i live in Tennessee and ive looked but as far as i know theres no breeders in the area..what eould be the best method of obtaining one?
Darts are relatively easy and delightful to keep, but you do need some of the basic rules first, which is why you are here, of course. Check out the care sheets at Saurian, Black Jungle, Ed's Fly Meat, Quality Captives, and also look on this site for Breeders and dealers, etc. and contact their web sites. There are a lot of people who raise darts, and several other forums that discuss dart frogs, as well. One good hand-book source that isn't an expensive tome, is POISON FROGS, Professional Breeders Series, W. Schmidt, F.W. Henkel. The above contacts carry it, or you can get it from http://www.zoobooksales.com. It's a nice basic, relatively inexpensive book on vivariums, general care and maintenance of several of the more popular species of darts.
Do some of this basic research first, and then the forums folk will be able to help you better with the details and relate to personal experiences or problems.
It's really easier than you might think, and a totally delightful, addictive hobby.

Hi,
My dad breeds reptiles full time (as a living) and has a good friend in SC that breeds Poison Arrow Frogs. They have a website that has basic information, animals for sale, etc. Here is their website:

Another friend of my dad's has a website that is much more informative and detailed. Here is their website:
