I've been keeping snakes for quite a while now and I'm very interested in keeping dart frogs. Do any of you guys have any recommendations on any good books(which I prefer) or websites where I can begin my research. Information on care and setting up a vivarium and such.

A very good affordable book is POINSON FROGS Professional Breeders Series. W. Schmidt and F.W. Henkel. You can get this from Saurian or Black Jungle or check the link below.

There is supposed to be a bigger and more complete book, that was supposed to be published in 2005, but no one in the U.S. has been able to get it yet, by the same people with additions by others, including veterinary care. It will probably run around $150.00. POISON FROGS-Biology, Species and Captive Husbandry.

There are plenty of great websights on the internet for dart frogs. Just put it in search and you will get a whole bunch of great web pages and forums to get information from. You will also get some European websights that even though I can not read them they offer great examples and will inspire you for your own set up.
Here are a few to get you started. I have a lot of different sights besides just these but I will give you something to start with.
Here they are: Blackjungle.com, http://www.joshsfrogs.com/,
http://www.vivariaforums.com/, http://www.victri.net/tanks/vivarium_2005-06-20.html

Hope this helps

Don't forget www.dendroboard.com.

I have to also agree with Patty's suggestion to purchase the breeders series book.
