Poison Dart Frog Setup

[Twysted]

I just built a vivarium for my poison dart frogs and I figured I would show it off to everyone cuz I think it looks pretty good...

There are 3 waterfalls in it and it was built in a 35 gallon tank.

I keep the humidity in the tank around 90% and the temp between 75-80

That water looks way to deep for those frogs. Dendrobates are not strong swimmers and can easily drown if they cannot get out of any standing water in their enclosure.

maybe put some ornamental gravel on the bottom to make it a bit more shallow or something?

ok... thanks for the input... I just got them last week and have never kept frogs before so that is good to know

You have a beautiful setup. The advice others gave you about water depth is valid.

I have Dendrobates auratus PDF's and larger frogs will TRY to drown smaller frogs! Shallow water is best.
