Hello, Tincman Herps is offering Sale Price on any Purchase of Dendrocare with a special free shipping if Dendrocare is purchased with my NaturalRose Carotenoid. Dendrocare is an important Vitamin Supplement because it not only contains Calcium, but it contains Vitamins E & D3 to help Absorb it along with real Vitamin A. This all in one will help breeding & prevent the most common deficiencies. My NaturalRose Carotenoid is Ultrafine & adheres to flies better then anything else on the market. Also, A study by Justin Yeager & colleagues revealed that the addition of carotenoids in just a quantity of 5% added to Fly media yielded higher rates of healthy metamorphs then a control group of Oophaga without it. This means that Carotenoids most likely have added health benefits & dont just enhance color. I will include a copy of this articale upon request. Note I get my supplements in very small quantities direct from manufacturers in order to get customers the freshest products. Email me on Dart Den or my personal email for faster responses: idris2279@yahoo.com , thanks for looking.

Is anyone going to Repticon Atlanta this coming up weekend? Just trying to get a feel for what to expect as far as vendors goes. I haven't been to an expo in several years and this will actually be the first in Atlanta for me. I'm hoping I can find a vendor selling Highland Bronze Auratus so if anyone knows anything let me know!

I'm in the process of designing a larger home for my two Tinc's! It was time to give their temporary home a cleaning and this is what I came up with. My original setup was a little too crowded for them and the live plants were taking over.
Thanks for looking!

There are three basic 'sizes' of Dart Frog enclosures:

1. Tall(er) / High

2. Wide(er) / Flat or 'long'

3. Cube or complete equal size square

Which do I choose???? What is best for what frog????

Basically, there are roughly two different body shapes and sizes of commonly kept ADULT dart frogs:

1. Tinctorius and 'Tinc type' frogs - These frogs, when fully grown, are large and heavy bodied. Phylobates genus also falls into this category. SELECT AN ENCLOSURE THAT IS MORE 'FLATTER' THAN IT IS TALL.

2. Pumilio and thumbnail  -  These are smaller bodied and more 'compact' size frogs. SELECT A 'TALLER' TANK.

BOTH categories above WILL climb, especially when young and small. Most dart frogs will also seek to 'roost' up high at night - this is a defense against predators like spiders, scorpions and centipedes all of which prowl the lower layers of leaf litter in the wild. But our frogs are CB and thus 'domesticated' so one would think there is NO need for that defensive roosting behavior right?? Well...it's in the frog DNA. I doubt the built in defense is going to be bred out unless we log in years and years of manipulation like the bearded dragon hobby, but I digress.

So I'm STILL confused! My newly bought small tincs absolutely do like to climb!! I think they will enjoy a high tank!

Tincs and heavy bodied frogs will indeed climb BUT they will utilize the flat and horizontal low surfaces MORE than they will climb. MUCH better to give them the lower, flatter, wider tank.

Smaller bodied frogs will likewise, use the mid to higher reaches of a tank . Now there are ALWAYS exceptions in life. R. reticulatus is a small, tiny frog that seems to utilize the lower leaf litter a BIT more than most frogs of that size.

The point is, if you are new(er) to the hobby and have found this Website, Forum and Thread and are looking for advice from an experienced member who has kept many, many different species of dart frogs, then here it is. The above is my enclosure size and type general recommendation.

Happy Froggin' !

Hello everyone,

So I've been working on my new viv after my wonder bubble attempts where less than successful. I decided that bigger is better and went with an exoterra 36"x18"x36" terrarium.

I first placed in the false bottom and made a tadpole pool/water access in one corner.


I then added in a mesh screen to separate the false bottom from the rest the environment. After that I took my main piece of cork (a huge 7lb tube) and place screen on the bottom of it. Then placed it in the viv, secured it in place, filled it with false bottom, placed more screen in it and added a little sag moss.


I then went ahead and added ABG mix plants and more sagmoss. After that I watered it all down. You cab see the water level in the pond. That is the full depth.


But I was not happy with it as is so I started thinking of adding cork around the sides and back. Admittedly it would have been easier if I started with this but you live and learn.


This is it so far. I think I need more cork a few more plants.


Ideas, thoughts, concerns, and suggestions are welcom.

It's been too long since we had a meet in the D/FW area, so I'd like to invite everybody over to eat barbeque and talk frogs.

Where - Rowlett TX (east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard). Not the same place as last time, but nearby. I'll send directions to folks who RSVP as we get closer to the time.

When - Saturday, May 16 2015, 1pm - 5pm

What - As usual, we're doing this pot luck -- I plan to smoke a brisket, we'll need drinks, plasticware and paper plates, sides, dessert and anything else y'all want to eat.

If you'll be coming, please reply, and let us know what you'll be bringing, so we don't duplicate efforts. If you're bringing frogs, etc., let everybody know, if you're bringing stuff like termite colonies, plan to keep them outside (I'm lookin' at you Brad :mrgreen: )

I am looking for Value and premium. I was going to buy new ones but I figured I would see if anyone has extra they wanted to get rid of.

Is there anyone here on Dart Den that keeps and breeds this species?

This particular dart frog has always been on my short list of frogs to raise. I'd also appreciate any firsthand experience you might have with this frog.

I am looking for several Adult or Large Juvenile Mints. Located in Maryland 21043
