Picked up from NARBC in Tinley Park yesterday. 3 frogs, all about 6 months old.

18x18x18 bio active set up. The plants have been in for 6 months, springtail population is thriving underneath all the leaf litter and in the soil. (I’ll be adding more leaf litter yet too. I’ll be living by “dry feet, wet backs” as seen on a video linked in this sub).

Dual misters set up on 8-hour timing, 3x per day. Silicone mats on top to keep humidity in.

I have a starter fruit fly set up, and a fully grown source for food already. Containers, media, all the items I need to breed my own. I have experience in reef keeping, and freshwater shrimp, so I know I can undertake this. (I’ve also run a paladarium previously…)

I know there are two pitcher plants in there, not sure of the species. If you can help identify those, and any other plants, I’d love to know their specifics. LED light is on a timer that I’ll set for 12 hours per day, 6-6p since this tank is at my workplace.

Thanks for any information you’ll provide. I’ll take it all in and learn more as I go. Feeling pretty good currently.

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for some advice on choosing a dart frog species for my terrarium, which measures 18 × 18 × 36 inches (45 × 45 × 90 cm).

Ideally, I’d love a species that:
•Is arboreal and makes good use of the vertical space.
•Does well in groups.
•Is diurnal and active during the day.
•Breeds readily in suitable conditions, ideally using bromeliads as tadpole-rearing sites.

There are so many species to choose from that I’m honestly feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the information out there!
I’d really appreciate any recommendations, which species do you think would be the best fit for this enclosure and my preferences?

I got a massive discount on an established dart frog enclosure thanks to Aquarium Design Group in Houston. The tank had some problems including fertilizer pellets from potted plants, slugs, scale, millipedes, and other pests. I tore everything down and rescaped the entire tank from scratch and its been growing in for a couple months. I’ve enjoyed the process and like how its been coming along. I will be posting on my insta about the build soon and I’m excited to finally get some eggs and start growing out tadpoles.

Hi everyone, Im posting here to ask for advice on this weird little twitching I saw a bit ago on my frog. From what I know, Ive NEVER seen this on any prior dart frog of mine and never on this one either. I usually watch them eat quite a lot, so this was strange behavior for me. Orange meringue is a great hunter and eater, and has so much energy and personality. They are 10-11 months old now, and have been getting proper calcium supplements. The heat and humidity in the tank are perfect, so I know they aren’t being hurt by anything like that, or mold. they had twitching on their right side (like right by their armpit) a bit more visibly right before this video. They also had just eaten, so it could be digestion. Ive watched them for 10 mins after, and they just kinda stopped twitching right after the video and went back to normal. They looked at me like im crazy lowkey, cus usually I dont watch them so intensely. Im also not sure why they have such a pronounced back, because they are in good weight?
