No pics, but these are beautiful! I love these little guys... I saw some at the aquarium, and I thought they were fake! Heck, if I didn't know any better I'd think these where the little rubber/plastic ones they sell at the dollar store.
Those are neat homes they're in.

Finally got a macro lens! Now, it's just a matter of trying to snap some good pics of these little buggers!

I'm not a photographer and was using a pretty crappy camera but here's the pet dart frog I used to have:

His name was Lucas (anyone get the pun?). Definitely one of the cooler frogs I've kept. If I keep darts again I'm going for a more automated system. All of that misting was a major pain, ha.

In the picture he's eying a fruit fly.

cool pics. I always thought these were some cool looking creatures. I am guessing you can't touch them with your bare skin? Feed them insects I suposse?

You shouldn't handle them because they have sensitive skin and stress easily. But captive-bred frogs won't poison you. Even wild-caught darts tend to lose their toxicity after a while due to their new diets.

Fruit flies are usually the staple diet :). Some of the smaller frogs start on springtails and similar sized foods. Mine would also occasionally eat pinhead crickets (already raised them for another animal) but those aren't optimal nutritionally.
