- 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?
Dendrobates tinctorius. Just because of how diverse and beautiful they are.
The bumblebees
That is a tough question. I would have to say it’s between Ranitomeya Ventrimaculata & Dendrobates Truncatus.
@@richardcarriere3964 I like turtles
@@WickensWickedReptiles Great video. Can you type out the name of the red ones you saw on your trip? You said they're vocal, and I think they're beautiful. I'd like to get some.
To answer your question, yes this should be a new series. I love watching deep dives into all the reptile and amphibians out there.
ok nice!
I second that!
I third!
Def need this series
Please yes!!
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.
hahaha that's hilarious!
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!
Can't wait! What a trip it was my friend!
@@WickensWickedReptiles 100%! 🇨🇷🌿
@@Reptiliatus there no need to reply back bc he only responds once and he’ll never respond ever agian
Man, I know you guy had fun on your trip huh??
I think dart frogs got some of the coolest patterns of any frogs
totally agree!
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!!!!
care guide coming soon!
I have been thinking about dart frogs a lot recently. Would love a care video
coming soon!
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
That is awesome!
Diamond always makes my day brighter.
Oh, and you too I guess.
same haha
About to see Josh’s Frogs in a few weeks at a reptile expo, I’ve been looking into these beauties!! Perfect timing!😍
awesome!
How did I miss this video months ago??? Dang and I love love love frogs!! Make us an ASMR video!! Just set up the camera in front of the enclosure with sound. So we can watch them hopping and around and doing frog things. Imagine how easy that would be! No voice over, no editing. Just an hour of frog footage. Be so fun to play on our TV screens too.
thanks for watching!
You hear in his voice how, much he love this animils.
I really do!
Just made a bioactive terrarium and I've been thinking frogs would fit in but, you know TINY frogs! This is perfect!
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 😂
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
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
Definitely do this as a series - I would watch it all!😀✌
Deal!
Never considered dart frogs until I started watching your videos. I love the idea of little blue skittles in a mini rain forest in my home ☺️
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.
thanks for watching!
Absolutely do more dart frog videos
looking at the view count, might be a while, haha
Poison dart frogs at last! Hey man hope you are well. 😀
thanks so much!
Also - "Mine are up in the bromeliads here in my enclosures, and that is where I saw them in Costa Rica, in the wild, which means I'm doing it right" - Channelling your inner Dav Kaufmann I see! He'd be so proud Adam. So proud!
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 waaaaant!" every time I watch Critta Cam in Australia ;P
thank you so much for the kind words!
IKR! I WANT a Boyd's forest dragon so bad...not any easy species to get ahold of...
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.
As for species to talk about, I think you should do Tincs because they seem like they're the most available dart frog species.
They can be challenging the main thing is to avoid imported animals. The main ones offered as imports are the egg-eater types like pumilos but even auratus and some tincts are still imported. All frogs are more work since you just can't leave them for a month like a ball python and expect them to be fine. They require daily maintenance mind you plants really help keep the terrarium clean the more bio active the better! You just can't scoop their poop out of the cage very easy, so it is best to let nature take care of it. You also will have to learn to rear feeder insects which takes somewhat of a learning curve . Even the bigger species want small prey items so for the most part this means fruit flies. I found the apterus mutation to be very stable, of course if wild type flies get into your cultures you have the joy of coping the top to be greeted with a cloud of flies. Pin head crickets are ok but they will ignore larger small crickets. If you can find them termites are a great food. No self respecting Dendrobates will touch a meal worm of any size but Phyllobates bicolor has no problem eating them of course I even had them eat the dermestid beetle larvae that come in the cricket boxes.
My favorite is the bumblebee. Now living in South Carolina on the shore humidity shouldn’t be a problem for me lol
so cool!
yes please do a care guide on diff species i’ve been trying to get into darts
Dart frogs have been my favorite species to keep out of all my animals. I have had two little guys for two years. So fun to watch and build the vivs. I feel like the possibilities are endless with how you can provide unique enclosures for them. I would love to see you do a tutorial on how you set up and build your enclosures. I have build two vivs so far and I am always looking at videos to learn new techniques.
I love dart frogs!
Diamond is sitting on your shoulder looking at us through the camera and stealing this outro. He says "I know what you REALLY came for"
Glad you had a good time in Costa Rica Adam!
Accurate, Diamond is the star!
The little cinematics are looking so professional
thank you so much ! Really trying to up my game!
Adorable little skittles that hop around.... Dart frogs are so cool!
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.
Dart frog care guides would be awesome!
I like the bumble bees, because of their bright colors and I hear that they are vocal. I don’t have any dart frogs, won’t get any I won’t do fruit flies EVER again, not after my mantids. I’ll stick to snakes. Speaking of I saw a Dumeril’s boa at an expo this weekend got to hold him, he was an adult, absolutely fell in love. SO getting one for sure now. I will just enjoy your darts.
Great job Adam. I’d love to see you and Dav Kaufman do a “Are We Keeping Them Right” video on dart frogs. I really enjoyed your interactions on the Snake Discovery Build Off videos, and the two of you would make a great team with the oaf and the regular sized guy (I’m 5’6” as well, so that’s regular sized to me)
doing one of those with Dav would be amazing!
I second this! More collabs!
Honestly i'd watch anything you do with dart frogs. keep the videos coming.
thanks so much!
Dude you already know you need an All About Dumerils Boas. I have one, you have one, many others have them, and MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW
good call!
I probably wont ever own a frog but I love learning about other animals. Great video!
we need more frogs
heck yes!
I usually choose animals that can be handled safely, but dart frogs are definitely on my "want" list. Great video with beautiful footage. Also, glad to be on the very end of your Patreon list! Seems like I'm the newest one 😊
Thanks for watching! and thanks so much for your support!
Just wear latex gloves.
@@Gigachadly They're not poisonous in captivity. They are poisonous in the wild because of what they eat. The reason you don't handle them is because they are small and fragile.
@@mrfishman2u no actually the reason you are not supposed to handle them is because your not supposed to touch amphibious with your bare hands because they absorb things through their skin.
@@Gigachadly Jeez, somebody's grumpy! My bad, I didn't realize you were so sensitive
Don't worry Diamond! You're still awesome, and you are the star of the channel.
Tbh, I didn't know much about Dart frogs before your videos, and now I'm OBSESSED. I've already told my spouse one day I will have some 😂
Dart Frogs are awesome 👌 Great video, enjoyed the information from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it!
More to come! Such a cool place!
I've always loved dart frogs. I'd definitely love to see a more in depth series on the different species.
I would love Dart Frogs. But I'm scared to have frogs, ever since I had a cat die from being nipped by a Tree Frog in Florida. They are such beautiful animals. I'll just admire yours, so keep the videos coming!
I’ve always loved frogs and toads, when my brothers and I were very little and didn’t know better we used to catch toads by hand in our backyard. If I still had vision left to watch these guys I would need all the dart frogs!
very interesting
It’s a video on amphibians so I’m sure there won’t be enough love for the video. Awesome video. Watching this video I can’t help but notice the video editing. Holy crap, great work. You can see all the hard work you’ve put into post production just over the past year.
I love dart frogs! Just can’t have them particularly at the moment! Yes this should be a series.
awesome to hear you enjoyed!
Definitely at the top of my list of animals to have! Would love to see a more detailed video going over these little guys
coming soon!
Same, don't know if I'd like to risk even messing with these because they're poisonous. What if I accidentally touch them? What if they get out?? I know he said they weren't in captivity, but how can you be sure without risking your health?
I'm getting my first dart frogs in 2 weeks, 4 dendrobates azureus. I could not be more excited!! My terrarium is cycling. I just added springtails a few days ago. I'm trying to learn everything I possibly can before they arrive so videos like these are extremely helpful. Thanks!
They are so adorable!
they sure are!
Dart frogs really are great. Its like having fish bc you cant handle them but they are so fun to watch. I have a pair of dendrobates lucamelas
i absolutely love this series!!!
Awesome video and tons of info here! Thank you!!!
my all time favorite exotic pet to keep. i had phyllobates bicolor a group of 4. they were fearless and cute af.
Love the video! Can't wait for more of the "all about" videos.
I love these new series! Would watch every video 😁
Glad you like them! thank you!
I really enjoyed this video, and can’t wait to see what others you cover! I love learning new things ❤️
Loved it! Would love more like this
Great video !!! very informative and helpful to new people in the hobby
This video was very educational and awesome,and this is why I love this channel so much.
Love the singling out of beautiful species like these guys! Amazing
Loved this video. Really hope you continue with the dart frog series and I'm looking forward to more videos from your Costa Rica trip.
Man this style video is amazing. Awesome work, buddy. I'd love to see more like this one!
The blue ones are my favorite my sisters and I go to see them in the zoo all the time they are so cute and yes this should be a series its was great to watch and i would love one on like usa boas or pretty much anything I’ve always been fond of reptiles and amphibians.
Ahhhh finally a video we have all been waiting for 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Love your vids I got a armadillo lizard from watching your weird reptiles video I've had him for quite a bit now
that is so awesome!
Excellent video! I loved it ! Thanks
Fantastic video as always Adam! Would definitely love to see a new series, especially about caring for different species of dart frogs!
great video. I love knowing these guys are active and I can create an environment with live plants
I am obsessed with frogs and I’d love to see more dart frog videos as well as Amazon milk frog videos! Obsessed! Great video can’t wait to see more of your trip to Costa Rica!
Man I really love your channel, you’re making it fun to learn and I can tell you really put work in to these videos.
Hope you had a blast in Costa rica and acctually took some time off so you dont burn yourself out. Keep doing what you do.
Kind regards from a fellow reptilelover in Sweden.
Loved this video! Nice change up! Reminded me of some of Dav Kaufman's when he used to travel. I hope you have a lot more Costa Rican footage to share in future videos!
Love this video alot! New to the hobby entirely and Dart frogs are what I'm looking to start with!
they are such great frogs!
Heck yes make it a series.
Would love to see a Step-by-step video on the making of a Dart Frog bio tank.
Yooooo I’m hyped about your guys Costa Rica trip!
I like this type of video over top 5s. Thank you sir!
Awesome clip! I love the extended talks about a single species or group. This one was really good.
I have to say, I also like your kind and enthusiastic demeanor that doesn't go over the top. Nor have I seen you nitpick others' sites. Heck, you even recommended others in this one. Good job!
On your poll, you said it didn't look like we were interested. I LOVED THE VIDEO!!!
I saw your poll about this video and clicked the first option with most everyone else. Gonna watch this video anyway though just to check out the format and because I like you and your videos. Keep up the good work man!
Yay frogs! Can't wait to own some one day. Yes please to a care guide for different species.
Will do!
Hope you had an awesome time
thanks so much!
The only dart frogs that I have available in my local pet store they have blue ones Anna beautiful bioactive enclosure for sale
that is so awesome!
Very cool! Can't wait to see more about the trip.
More to come!
Great video I like how they tap their toes.
Honestly I enjoyed this video much more than I thought I would. Dart frogs have never really been a species I have had a strong desire to keep, but this was super cool! love the idea for the series. And I might have to look into getting some in the future. Nicely done sir!
I really like this style of video!
I would absolutely love a series’s of deep diving into animals, like maybe info on a couple species in one vid, like where they come from, size, diet stuff like that. I have been thinking about getting some dart frogs this past year, just haven’t done it yet lol I can’t decide what kind to get! Lol love your videos. You are doing awesome work!
Super cute! Thank you for demystifying these little guys. I’ve learned a ton about a cool looking little critter friend. 🙂
Having you talk about dart frogs on your channel, and then seeing them at the Montreal Biodome made the trip extra special! And now you talk about them again! Thank you :D
Awesome! Thank you!
Your video came just in time, as I am currently doing research on keeping dart frogs with mourning geckos. This was very informative 👏
I hope it helped!
An 'all about' series would be great! Gives a nice insight missing from most standard care guides
hoping to continue!
Yes please do a care guide.
ok!
Love the lighting and background!!! You got some wicked shots of these frogs!! Assuming they are your enclosures which rock!!
I’d love a care guide. I have to say I definitely am more attracted to the green ones ❤️
Such good quality vid, great colors.
Dart frogs are flippin COOL!
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!
Yes. Do it. I'm very curious and want some. Do deep dives on any reptile, amphibian or invertebrates I'll watch. I'm such a nerd for this stuff.
Think this would be a Fantastic series
Liked this video!! Keep making them
