Hi,for my senior project in high school I am planning on creating a living terrarium composed mostly of carnivorous plants, especially those that fall under the genus of heliamphora. These plants are from the table top mountains in northern south america (Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil). Any advice for a small species of frog that would survive in that type of environment? Would some variety of dart frog be a good choice?

Any input is appreciated, thank you.

I think dart frogs would make a great addition. One thing to take into consideration is the size of the plants, and the age of your frogs. I have heard of young frogs becoming trapped in large pitcher plants, however, from my understanding this is rare. Otherwise carnivorous plants and dart frogs frequently thrive together. I would recommend researching the species you plan to use in advance, auratus, and leucs make hardy captives and would be a good choice. Depending on the number of frogs I would recommend that you start with 20 gal. I keep three green and black dart frogs in a 40 gal breeder (this is a very large tank for just 4 frogs but it looks great.)
