actullay you are incorrect, the only place a poison dart frog is toxic is in the rain forest where they can eat foot that will produce the poisons on there skin, thus being bad for humans. but in the home aquaria these frog wont be able to produce these poisons since they will not have access to these plants. so actually you can hold them, but if its a wild frog then you still should leave it alone for awhile.
What to test that teory by actualy eating one?fish_master2000;3176865; said:
Dont play with fire, there hasnt been any conclusive studies about that, there is rumors of them being less toxic wich seems to be true, however its unlikely they are completly toxic free. Second no frog or adullt amphib eats plants. Tirth no amphib should be manipulated apart from the estrict necessity, the contact of human skin and the stress are no good for themi never said they where completely non-toxic. just saying that home breed or a f1 that has been feed in an home tank will not be toxic enough to kill you

actually if you review your previous statement ,which i have posted above for your convenience, you will realize that you were horribly wrong in your most recent statement in which you defended your original statement like you were Michael Phelps lawyer.
man mike, you should have borrowed kobe's.
but back to the point at hand. You said "the only place a poison dart frog is toxic is in the rain forest" and "in the home aquaria these frog wont be able to produce these poisons since they will not have access to these plants. so actually you can hold them" We now have it in writing several times so I think you should give it up wile your behind. But thanks for playing.

Am I the only one that that whole post made no sense too?
Simple answer.. Do not mix dart frogs, turtles, mudskipper or pretty much anything.
I have darts. I have mostly CB darts. I did at one point in time have a few WC. Even after having them for a year or so there would still be a tingling when they were touched. I do not reccomend touching dart frogs at all but sometimes to move them it has to happen.
You could probably combine the turtle and dart frogs if you had a way to separate them...
maybe a dual level setup in cage?
water with a small land area on bottom for turtle; top with just land for dart frogs.
water for turtle would keep humidity up.
only trouble would be making sure the dart frogs don't end up in the turtle's level.
this design could work; just research temp. requirements first.
O, and dart frogs are only poisonous in the wild due to a toxin they ingest from some bug in their diet (probably ants). Captive bred ones should be nontoxic, newly imported ones may still be toxic depending on their last meal of the toxin producing bugs (not really worth chancing); basically, captive bred is the way to go with almost every reptile and amphibian.

are you serious? With all the mods you would have to do to keep the turtle away from the frog ( if it can even be done) why not just go with two seperate tanks.
What are you going to feed the dart frog that is not going to bother the turtle?
Here is my opinion. The OP does not have much of a clue what a turtle needs ( neither do I ), what a mudskipper needs ( neither do I) or what a dart frog needs ( that I do know)
Do turtles do ok in completely sealed tanks with no fresh air flow?
