paradise Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Went to a friend's LFS that sells poison dart frogs, got a whole slew of pics, great subjects. Here are a couple I really like. I left them big on purpose, 640 wide, to show the amazing detail on these creatures. Link to comment
audiocontrol Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I always loved poison dart frogs...their colors are just as crazy as some saltwater fish. Too bad they are so $$$$$$$ Link to comment
c est ma Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Gorgeous tinc shots! I keep thumbnail darts, myself. They're coming down in price--some species cost less than some coral! --Diane Link to comment

Cyclo Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Nice, I used to keep a pair. Breeding fruit flies was a major PITA! They were awesome though. Link to comment

Mnesarchus Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 How expensive are those frogs? Link to comment
nekomi Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've done some research on them, and juvenile frogs of most of the common species are around $35-55 each. Adult mated pairs will run you about $100-200 depending on the species/variety. Check out http://www.kingsnake.com for more info on them and lots of other reptiles Link to comment

RMats37 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Paradise- Nice Dart Frogs. I used to have them until I went into saltwater. Anyluck on breeding them? I had lots of luck. Should have had like 50-100 of them. The last clutch that I had about 12 survived. Anyways, let me know and if you have any questions feel free to ask. Link to comment
Caesar777 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 35-55? You got a good deal, unless they've gone down in price since I got out of herping 2-3 years ago. They can be a bit tough to keep. Not for the beginner, for sure. Link to comment
