Poison dart frogs are completely harmless unless you decide to eat one- and even still, you would only get sick unless you were feeding it a very specific kind of beetle found in south America. The diet of the frogs is what gives it toxicity. In captivity they are fed fruit flies and crickets.
Let's see those Dart Frogs / Vivariums!

I'll try to get some pics of my dart setups. I have 6 tanks of darts now, all of them growing fast. Even heard calling from 3 of the tanks.
Got pictures of everything but the SI anthonyi. 5 tiny frogs in a fogged up 125 vert terrarium are pretty hard to photograph... Also threw in a picture of my jackson's chameleon vivarium, and my old pygmy chameleon vivarium.
DO you have a fan or something going over your Jackson's Cham viv? They need very good air flow to thrive. Without it, they tend to develop respiratory problems and eye infections. Living in MI you probably have this covered but they need to drop to the low 60's at night too. We cannot keep them in FL unless we stick them in the fridge at night.
As a matter of fact I have 2 fans on the Jackson's viv. There is a computer fan built into the kitty litter wall (which is all dried out), as well as a fan that sits on top of the screen lid. The cham lives in my basement and the temps drop pretty low with the lights off at night.
Edit: Although, honestly he doesn't spend much time in his enclosure. The majority of the time he is wandering around the basement picking off spiders, chilling in his ficus tree or one of my other houseplants, or trying to catch the guppies in my paludarium through the glass (very sad to watch, I feel bad for him sometimes).
I figured you knew how to properly care for them but every time I see a cham in glass, it sets off alarms.
These all look great. I have a 20 long ive been wantin to do somethin different with for a while, would the 20 long be a good size?

A 20 gallon long is perfect for a pair or trio of leucomelas, vittatus, anthonyi, or auratus. You could even get away with a pair of one of the smaller tincs in a well planned 20 long. If you flip the tank and make it a vertical, a pair or trio (depending on the species) of thumbnail would work very well in there as well.
Do they require live plants? Or can i have fake plants in there with them?
