No, dart frogs don’t need uvb, they need a glass lid to keep enough humidity, 10 gallons is generally only enough for 1 dart frog, dart frogs should be kept with live plants, and several other problems with this . Look at joshs frogs, they’re very reliable and have some great info/Dart frog kits

Just replace the UVB bulb with a regular bulb. Plastic sheeting over most of the screen lid will keep the humidity in. Live plants are optional. The frogs can't tell the difference. $90 seems a bit steep for things that you can acquire individually.

Underground reptiles has a terrible reputation, definitely consider looking up the numerous horror stories before purchasing. One of many: https://www.ourreptileforum.com/community/threads/dont-buy-from-underground-reptiles.24893/

Also, as others mentioned you do not want to add UVB. Dart Frogs are in Ferguson zones 1-2 which means fairly minimal UV Index exposure: https://www.researchgate.net/public..._Research_41_42_-_63_httpwwwjzarorgjzararticl

Unfortunately this is quite possibly one of the worst dart frog setups I’ve ever seen.

Live plants are optional.

I highly disagree. Live plants are highly beneficial to dart frogs. They can tell the difference with fake plants and avoid fake plants. Plus live plants help with moisture regulation in the tank.

Completely agree with this statement.

Definitely go with a company that has a better reputation! Most of UG (if not all) are wild caught. Dart frogs are 100% better CB. And I agree with all the posters who recommend live plants vs fake, A frog knows. Just ask them.

Thanks for all the information. All of this was very helpful.

Here's a thread where some of the people who keep frogs have posted pictures of their frogs and setups.
