poison dart frogs...

Does anyone know a good site that sells dart frogs? Anyone own them and have pictures of them and their setups? Thanks.

I keep them and mantellas. Here's a good sight that I also belong to and you can also buy frogs from people.
www.Dendroboard.com

Check out Dendroboard.com. They have everything including a great forum.
I have 19 frogs in 5 different tanks and 5 different species. Sorry no pictures for now. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Which type do you recomend for my first dart frog? most interesting to watch? and can having an exo terra fogger in the enclosure cause any problems?

I highly recommend the blue dart frogs, my new favorite. They get quite large (for poison frogs), have spectacular color/pattern, and are really bold frogs. They're almost always out in the open and seem quite fearless. Mine only hop away when I get within an inch or so of them. As for ease of care, I think Dendrobates auratus, D. tinctorius/D. azureus, and D. leucomelas are all considered to be the species easiest to begin with. I mist by hand

i had dendrobautus eratus for 4 years just about, i gave them to a friend of mine. they were extremly easy for me to keep and cool little frogs.

i love the dendro azerus. and would reccomend them as kent said as they are fairly large for darts.
