My beginers collection

[bellerophon]

Although this isn't my first post here on the forums it is my most comprehensive so far. Even though I've just recently become interested in cp's the generousity of the members of this forum and community in general have been wonderful. My first four plants were purchased from californiacarnivores.com and the rest of my collection to date has been given to me by Pyro here on the forums. As I dont know much about the care of these plants and am a bit of a slow learner, I figured I'd post up what I currently have going and leave it open for suggestions. All the plants are in some combination of sphagnum peat moss and Perlite as suggested by Pyro and the black tray they are in is kept 1/2" full of R.O. water. The shoplight suspended 9" off the pots has two Phillips F32T8/DX 32Watt 6500K bulbs in it. (when I add more dart tanks to the bottom shelf the light will go back up to 19" off the pots) Room conditions are 73-65F day/night @ ~43%rh at the tray

Yes, it looks like you are off to a good start. You also have a nice grow setup with the shelving and the glass enclosures. Time to expand!

xvart.

The finger and toe tips have glandular adhesive pads that help the poison arrow frog in climbing and clinging to leaves and branches. thanks

 

[Jefforever]

[z5guy]

ahhh, yes, poison dart frogs are great, in fact, a couple of years ago when i was in charge of a schools new Cp tank, i was also resonsibly for most of the car of there poison dart frog tank as well.

 

[elgecko]

Nice start.

Looks like you have Dendrobates azureus. I love those guys.

Many times when I've been to reptile shows and they have them there, I pick them up thinking of buying 2 or 3, then remembering I have no room for a set up for them. :-(

Maybe someday when I get a bigger house.................
