I know these little guys are not fish related...but we thought that you animal lovers may get a kick out of them ...
I have allways had a fascination with Poison Dart Frogs , and our trip earlier this year to the Baltimore Aquarium started it back up ... I got home and started researching , and found that you can actually keep these as pets.. I read every little bit I could find and after a good few months of research took the leap ... I could not be happier about it ... Candace knew that I was pining to get some and figured she would buy them for me for my B-day...
The Yellow/orange and black are d. leucomelas and there are 2 of them ...
The Blue and black are d. auratus and there are 6 all together ...
All of the frogs are between 4-6 months old...

Cool! I came real close to getting some at one point and even had constructed an enclosure, but . . .
A friend of mine (curekar here on RC) keeps a few dart frogs as well.

Looks great Happy B-DayYou aren't going to lick those frogs are you? LOL I have heard that some people lick poison frogs to get a buzz.
Steve I quit licking frogs when I quit drinking... Besides , I don't think they liked it as much as I did.. :strooper:

Craig (curekar) lives here in C'ville and he's on the RRC forum as well. He also has bearded dragons (which I know you have) and some other herps, amphibians, and birds.
I'm glad to hear that the chameleon is doing well. I feel good knowing he went to a nice home. Up here in my apartment, I recently added some storage cabinets where his cage used to be in order to store "fishy" stuff as my lady likes to call it
Reefkeeping can easily take over your brain and all of your available living space :lol2:turbois300

Dart frogs are only poisonous when they eat their natural food. In captivity, they're not poisonous.

Hey Steve ... Yeah they can be handled but , really shouldn't ... They absorb everything through thier skin ... So not a good idea... And Josh is right they are not poisonous ..The toxicity comes from the foods they eat in the wild... They are most definetly awesome little creatures ...
