Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i can't wait to get my first Dart frogs this saturday at the pottstown reptile show. anyway... i've been looking mostly into getting azureus and know pretty much what to look for from reading different things hear and there but if all of you could tell me more i would greatly apprieciate it! i was thinking more on the line of azureus possibly luecs or tincs. i'm looking foward to picking them out and would like any good last minute advice before i get them(hopefully two).

any responses would be greatly apprieciated!
(sorry about the long post)

Well, the species is entirely up to you. Here are some things you should look for in frogs you want:
-Bright shiny black eyes (they can tell you a lot about the health of a frog)
-Good body form; skinny hind legs are a sign of poor nurtition at tadpole-froglet stage
-Clear skin with no sign of abrasions or nose-rub
-Active; ask the seller if they mind feeding them a small amount so you can make sure they are all eating readly
-Not skinny, yet not obiese either. A little plumpness is good, but you dont want them bulging

I hope you find some great ones! Have fun at the show
