can anyone give me some types of plants to get for a live cage for poison dart frogs..

also what type of lighting do they need

The possibilities for your dart terrarium are near endless. In my tanks I use pothos, creeping fig, assorted draceanas, bromeliads. Those are all the ones I know, I also use plants from hardware stores that say assorted tropicals. For light, on one of my tank I have a single fluorescent plant bulb, I got it at a local hardware store. On my other I have a compact fluorescent fixture that does so much more for plant growth.
The links at the bottom are to some plant stores online, I can only do 1 link but there are lots more, so some other people can post some too.

Like Mark said, the possibilities are endless. I would be happy to help you pick out some plants for your tank and we can talk design, lighting, etc. What species of dart frog are you interested in? This partly points in the direction of tank size, plants, etc.

Thanks
