Interesting question a friend asked me.

pfan151 Mar 03, 2010 11:53 AM

I have a friend that has a large heated greenhouse with tons of different tropical plants. The coolest the temps ever get is about 65 degrees, up to about 90 in the dead of summer. He asked me if I though he could put some dart frogs in there. They would have plenty of insects from the plants to eat (fruit flies, aphids, and a few other small bugs from his plants) The humidity stays very high in there even during the winter. High enough to cause a constant condinsation on the galss. I now he would probably almost never see them, but do you think they would survive ok in there? I have kept darts in the past, but this is a bit beyond my experience.

well,what would he do it for?he would never see them.
i know alot of people that anoles in there greenhouses and they even breed in there.im guessing darts are more delicate,i would suggest putting in a mini sanctuary like a small sideways tank with moss and a small heat pad just to let them have a place to go just incase. And he must make sure there is no rodent activity in the greenhouse.

Dart frogs are very sensitive to warm temps. 90 would be to hot for them. My friend is always concerned when her house gets into the high 80's. Plus they are small so why put them in a big greenhouse an never see them? Just my 2 cents.
