What To Get Now?

[CamiGirl89]

So I obtained this ExoTerra terrarium today, and am trying to decide what to get! I am waiting until the plants grow more before anything goes into it. I don't really know what can go in it, but I need some good ideas! Pygmies? Dart Frogs? I need educated ideas with a little bit of info. Care level, price, that sort of thing. Thank you for any and all suggestions! (Sorry for the poor-quality phone pictures)

Dart frogs would be great in there. The bumblebees (leucs) are more climbers than other species so they can make better use of a taller exo-terra. They are about $40 each, and you could probably keep 3 in that set-up.

You can plant bromiliads and ferns in the background and substrate and hook up a mister. We mist 3 times a day for 30-45 seconds each time. We also added a computer fan to circulate the humidity - we were having problems with plants getting too wet. The dart frogs can be fed flightless fruit flies, and only every other day once they reach 1 year old. Good luck with whatever you decide to go with!

Any other ideas? I know there is more knowledge out there!

What Michelle said is a good idea, darts will also do some calling which i find awesome to listen to

Or you could easily sustain a pair or possibly a trio of most the available pygmy chams! They do well in terrarium, and eats just about everything you feed your chams but on a smaller scale.

Cost is the same or less than dart frogs

Thank you both for your recommendations/suggestions. I think we have decided on purchasing a trio from LLLReptiles. If anyone knows any pygmy breeders here on site, I would be happy to support their business, as well!

I could see a few pair of red eyed tree frogs in there myself

Haha, it is going to be so hard to choose!

Thank you, I will send a message to Ataraxia and see if there might be any left. I appreciate the tip!

I've been looking at dart frog pictures lately, and I think that setup would be perfect for 3 or 4. Tough choice though.
