I didnt pecifically mean gtp but the thing you have to remember here is all these animals are unpredictable.. you just never no.. so what is the point risking an animal thats expensive.. well two! What plant is it that they get their poison from Kobi ?
And I thought he was planning the large type, as he was on about his whole basment. We have already said he would need a large pond for those fish. Poison dart forgs are really not diurnal or nocturnal so that comment about gtps being nocturanl is invalid sorry to say lol
Tbh your comment about a 6 foot tree python eating a frog.. well its awfully unusual to start off with a 6 foot snake now isnt it? Lol
Im not sure about this theory you use about frogs getting their poison from plants.. tribes use these frogs to poison the tips of their arrows.. wouldnt they simply use the plants.. a lot less risky for the tribes.

Well for the 6ft snake part I meant to list that as their potential size. I know for a fact that they do get their poison from a plant because I have talked to breeders, and read plenty of caresheets, and asked on many forums just to be safe http://saurian.net/htm05/froginfo_dartfrog_faqs.html I guess I may be wrong about the plants as it's still unknown where they get the toxins from:irked: . I wasn't sure if he wanted to use the entire basement or not so... What type of ecosystem(can't think of a better word to use) would you like to replicate? Temperate, Deciduous, Tropical, Arid...

LMao you know for a fact but iots still unknown where they get their toxins from? Tbh I think it self made/produced, mybe with the HELP from a plant but i dont think they are not able to produce it in captiviity.. thats why since you dont know for sure.. not to house them with anything, let alone that may/may be able to predate on them :)

Lol I knew that was going to happen after I posted the right info. Sry I hadn't looked at or read up on Dart Frogs for several months now but I'm pretty sure it has to be something they eat like snakemanstu said.
 
If you dont mind replaceing stuff all the time go ahead. Zoo's dont do this for that same reason. Its hard to find compatible species to have in the same environment. Turtles are about the only thing that will live together without problems, but thats not always the case.
