Phelsuma with Dendrobatids

yeagermeister111 Sep 15, 2003 10:29 PM

Does any one keep day geckos with dart frogs here on this list? I know a few kept P. ornata, and P. klemmeri with D. tinctorius and D. azureus. Just curious if anyone else did/does.
Best,
Justin

I used to keep gold dust with auratus, and had no problems, for about a year, then I updated with a new viv, so i moved them. This was about 4 years ago. Since then, I have had bad luck with gold dust, and have got out of geckos, but hope to get back into them when i find a better dealer, who doesnt have sick ones.

I know a guy who kept some laticauda with some mantellas. He had no problems for a year, then one day he apparently saw his gold-dust finishing off the last of his mantellas. My thing is, the thrashing that phelsuma will do when they are eating larger prey like silkworms would deter me even from keeping larger species like tinctorius with them. Well.... perhaps the smaller species may not be able to eat a fully grown tinctorius or azureus, but a juvie would seem to be fair game. Just my two cents.
