I really want a care guide, because everyone talks about how they're a challenging more advanced frog to keep, but everything I've found in researching them doesn't make them sound that difficult, and I want your take on them since youre honest about the amount of work involved with stuff.

@sampagano205 2 жыл бұрын

As for species to talk about, I think you should do Tincs because they seem like they're the most available dart frog species.

@brucebrazaitis321 2 жыл бұрын

They can be challenging the main thing is to avoid imported animals. The main ones offered as imports are the egg-eater types like pumilos but even auratus and some tincts are still imported. All frogs are more work since you just can't leave them for a month like a ball python and expect them to be fine. They require daily maintenance mind you plants really help keep the terrarium clean the more bio active the better! You just can't scoop their poop out of the cage very easy, so it is best to let nature take care of it. You also will have to learn to rear feeder insects which takes somewhat of a learning curve . Even the bigger species want small prey items so for the most part this means fruit flies. I found the apterus mutation to be very stable, of course if wild type flies get into your cultures you have the joy of coping the top to be greeted with a cloud of flies. Pin head crickets are ok but they will ignore larger small crickets. If you can find them termites are a great food. No self respecting Dendrobates will touch a meal worm of any size but Phyllobates bicolor has no problem eating them of course I even had them eat the dermestid beetle larvae that come in the cricket boxes.

@kristians7377 2 жыл бұрын

To respond to your questions at end of video: Would really love some detailed care guides and highlights of specific species. I feel like why this doesnt have as many views is because there are many many “into to dart frog” type videos already that broadly touch on a lot of points. So a great video, but probably material people have seen. I think the in depth species highlights and care guides would get a lot more hits

@barriedelaney2853 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll never get bored listening/watching people talk dart frogs. I’ve currently got azures and just got some bicolor and they behave so differently. My azures love climbing on this one branch and taking it in turns to jump before queuing back up to do it again 😂

Lastly (Don't wanna take over your chat!) I just wanted to say, the trip was really good for you bro. This video I felt your confidence pouring forth, talking about something you are super passionate about and I like your formatting changes. I would love to see more videos like this, where you take deep dives into specific species! And to that end, I cast my vote! I'd like to see you cover Antaresia snakes (Spotted pythons, Anthill pythons, Stimson's Pythons, Children's Pythons, Pygmy Pythons etc.), specifically the ones we can obtain and have here in North America (or in Canada). SITES is great for conservation, but I cry "I waaaaant!" every time I watch Critta Cam in Australia ;P
