poison arrow frogs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poison Arrow Frogs: Their Natural History and Care in Captivity (Paperback)
I have read several books on dart frogs and the set-up of this is ideal for an intermediate frog owner as well as the beginner. Branching off sections on: genus, species, general care, food, temp. setting, cage set-up, and difficulty of captive care; you should be more than ready to start your first set-up( of course only with the suggested beginning frogs) or continue your knowledge of these beautiful creatures. I keep frogs myself and feel this book would be wise to read if you plan to care for any poison frog as long as their life span should be.

A good basic book on poison arrow frogs,
By Ken Uy (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Poison Arrow Frogs: Their Natural History and Care in Captivity (Paperback)
This book is great for beginners, covering natural history, terrarium construction, live food culture and individual species requirements. The very nice photographs make it a wish list for frog keepers.

Good general information for keeping dart frogs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Poison Arrow Frogs: Their Natural History and Care in Captivity (Paperback)
This book has few pictures but good coverage on care for each type of frog. The author spends two chapters describing his expeditions to Panama and Fr. Guiana. He BRIEFLY discusses how to build and outfit a terrarium (vivarium), diseases and breeding. The last half of the book discusses each species individually. He gives a description, outlines distribution-habitat in the wild, lists optimum temperature and vivarium size, and gives detailed information on their breeding habits and care of tads. I would have liked more focus on caring for the frogs and less on breeding them and seeing them in the wild. Otherwise, good reference book.
