No no no and no. My husband said, "No new habitats". But he's letting me get a tokay (or 2!) and a nice big enclosure for them. I don't want to push my luck. ;)

You can put them in with the geckos, then it wouldn't be a "new habitat". :D

How about the ol "But Honey, they followed me home" routine?

I already used that one when I brought home Andy Duphrane. :)

I just spoke to him on the phone, and he said we'll take 1 of Bryan's tincts if he takes all 3 of our auratas. ;)

hmmm you don't want to put critters that secrete toxins in a vivaria with critters that like to lick

[bearded-one]

I thought they only excreted toxins with their diet in the wild? Some type of ant, I think.

[Aimee]

I know that it's supposed to be very much reduced. I wouldn't assume it's gone...you'd come home one day to a tank of dead cresties, and then you'd never be able to live with yourself

[Emily]

I would be more worried that the adult cresties would kill or eat the frogs.

[robert phillips]

Are the males territorial(fight)?

[Bryan1]

Nope, the females are the aggressive ones... for the most part.

[robert phillips]

Do they need a female to court? Do colors matter, I've seen yellow, green, orange, red, and now blue? These are the poison dart frogs?

[Emily]

From everything I've read, it's the males that don't like to share spaces. I've currently got 1 male and 2 females in the same enclosure (and have seen many similar male:female ratio setups), and they do great. I was told 1 male to every 2-3 females; 10g bare minimum (for a pair)...better to go w/ a 20g long or larger, depending on species and viv setup.

Check out this on saurian.net... http://www.saurian.net/htm05/froginfo_tinc_azureus.html Multiple females are usually a problem, at least with Suriname Cobalts..... I've read it in several different articles.

[robert phillips]

If I get one where can I get 1 female? I have three extra ten gallon aqua. right now. How old are the boys? how long do they live? I was brought a small tree frog from the local kids and kept it for 1 1/2 years before we set it free. I have two habba misters. I tried the foggers but found they were very susceptible to mineral problems from the plant and animal life. How about heating? Lighting? I've already picked out a name so it's a done deal, Blue Lightening, for all the storms in the midwest while I was in Basic. The prettiest blue lightening ever for hours on end. Reminds me of the blue in the frogs.

[Bryan1]

They can live up to 10 years, temps should be in the mid 70's for a daytime high so not much more than room temp really. The light I keep on their enclosure keeps it at least that high and provides a nighttime temp drop of about 8-10 degrees. www.saurian.net has a TON of info on these guys....

[robert phillips]
