I think you are not getting more help because you have so many questions in one post.
I will answer a few of them, but searching through the forum will probably answer all of them. Temps and humidity: http://www.dartden.com/viewtopic.php?t=3247&highlight= Why are they so expensive? Frogs generally cost between $25 and $250 depending on what you like. It is fairly easy to get a couple of frogs to get started for less than $125. As a comparison, to adopt a dog usually costs around $70-$100, while pure breds may cost several thousand, so frogs are relatively cheap by comparison. Also their food costs are much lower than a dog. Where can I get some frogs to get started? Frogs are shipped all over the country during the right weather. If you want local, then it depends on where you live, it may not be possible. I drove a few hundred miles to pick up my first frogs. If shipping, then I would look at the sponsors of this board. (I just realized there are not many frog selling sponsors on this board. And no list of sponsors that I could find. Sorry, I was thinking of dendroboard, when I made that comment.) www.azdr.com is a sponsor here, and I have heard good things about them. What kind of tank? Most people use converted aquariums. If you go this route, a glass top is reccommended. Plastic tends to warp and this can cause escapes, which normally lead to death of the frog. The book suggested is supposed to be a really good book, but I have not read it.

here is a list of sites that have excellent darts for sale. IMO you don't want to buy cheap wholesale darts as you really should be looking for quality. getting that book as mentioned is a good idea and searching through posts.
pat nabors sells quality darts excellent guy www.suarian.net jl exotics azdr www.dartfrogdepot.com blackjungle.com just to name a few. i can add some later. p.s. research is most important. usually takes a perosn a year to two years to get all the info they need before purchasing dart frogs....atleast that's my opinion. getting the tank set-up and established first would be my best advice as well as learning proper quarantine methods and knowing that fecals are important and proper husbandry skills i can add some later. kristy ![]()
