Poisonous Pets | All About Poison Dart Frogs

Poison Dart Frogs are incredible frogs and one of the coolest amphibians in the world! Are Dart Frogs right for you, and what species of Poison Dart Frog is the best to keep? Let's go over why poison dart frogs are so darn wicked!

CORRECTION - I said "Dendrobates pumilio" when really this species is now Oophaga pumilio. I am a silly goose and misspoke. The frogs have forgiven me and I hope you can too.

What Species of Poison Dart Frog is Your Favorite?

[kathrynryan]

To answer your question, yes this should be a new series. I love watching deep dives into all the reptile and amphibians out there.

[Cavegeckosol]

My dart frog comes up to the glass like I'm the pizza guy and it's a frat house party weekend at 11 pm.

Awesome video brother! Was super awesome seeing wild dart frogs last week! Can’t wait to implement some of the things I saw in Costa Rica into my scaping and I can’t wait for us to share our trip with the world!

[SierraRomeoPapa]

Dart frog care guides would be awesome!

[Mercedes_may]

I live in Alaska, we have very cold temperatures and very low humidity and I still successfully keep my dart frogs 🥰 I have binder covers fitted to the top of my tank to keep the heat and humidity in

[SkylerB]

noise making dart frogs are exactly what i didnt know i needed. i knew i needed some dart frogs... didnt know they made sounds and now i need those. also yes to Dart Frogs care guide!!!!

[ParkerJ]

I have been thinking about dart frogs a lot recently. Would love a care video

[kristians]

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

About to see Josh’s Frogs in a few weeks at a reptile expo, I’ve been looking into these beauties!! Perfect timing!😍

[alecotte]

Let’s see that care guide in a few weeks egh??? I want them a ton but need to know what I’m getting into. Love the content Adam!

[sampagano]

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.

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 😂

[gecko-guy]

I think dart frogs got some of the coolest patterns of any frogs

[johnwilkerson]

I would absolutely love a series like this. Especially for common pets. The more quality things like this that exist the better the community will be.

[Dreadykruger]

Ya we should do the difference in why you don't mix different frogs together we would really like to know and I love you still do videos twice a week I look forward to them you are Awesome as always! Glad you got to go somewhere warm for a change lol.

[Jungles_of_Lustria]

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 every time I watch Critta Cam in Australia ;P

[jaidyn.m]

yes please do a care guide on diff species i’ve been trying to get into darts

[mareedonahue]

I would love a series like this! You could do microgeckos next, like indopacific and mourning geckos! I would love to see a series on herps that can be cohabbed, as that's really interesting to look at

[thSyLvEsTeR]

Just made a bioactive terrarium and I've been thinking frogs would fit in but, you know TINY frogs! This is perfect!
