    Hi all. I am looking at buying some bulk water from a local supplier and I wondered what the best one to use was. I know some people say RO water, some say rain water, some say de-ionised, some say distilled. Currently, I'm using de-ionised for my misting system. I will look into getting my own...

    I’ve been using repti safe water conditioner on my misting system water reservoir. However, I was wondering if I could use water from my Brita filter? It would be much easier than dechlorinator the water with a water conditioner.

    Hi, Newbie question, but please bear with me :) I was trying to build a waterfall feature into my paludarium and was having so many issues trying to sink/hide the pump in an accessible place, i just gave up. But then i wondered - can you buy external water pumps which suck up the water, take...

    is well water generally safe for frogs? we tested it and it is safe for humans to drink and it has no added chlorine. It was slightly acidic when we first moved in but it was treated to be neutral. Anything that would make it not frog safe?

    Hi, I am looking for a water source to not cause hard water stains in my viv. I have been using spring water previously, but even though there's no chlorine, there is still hard minerals in it. I know about RO water, but im not really looking to invest in a system right now. I have found that...

    I got my frogs (D. auratus "El cope") three months ago and have been a happy keeper ever since. In the beginning they were very active but after a few days they mostly hid in the back of the enclosure where they dug a little hide and occasionally I would see one of them hopping around or taking...

    I have a 10g long 50/50 water/land paludarium set up for oriental fire-bellied toads, but can't find any breeders or online stores that have them in stock. Are there any other frogs (besides yellow-bellied toads) that would do well in this setup? I am really only interested in frogs, not newts...

    Hey! Newbie here but have been lurking for a few weeks as I build my first viv. I decided to make this post because I haven't seen an answer to this question anywhere no matter where I look. I recently got a MistKing and have been racking my head for a solution to either hiding my MistKing...

    Hi Planning out my second viv at the moment, for 3 Mint Terribilis, and wanted to include a water feature. Now, I've heard that water features tend to mold pretty easily from a few people, but wanted to ask here specifically since it's a board for darts. I was planning on a pretty small section...

    Hi everyone, I have two auratus set up in a temp quarantine bin with a shallow water bowl. The water level is probably only a cm high and I have noticed them sitting in it with no problems. Today I opened the lid to feed them and one sitting on the water bowl got spooked and jumped in and...

    Theres Something that has come to my attention regarding ro water and dart frog keeping, being someone who keeps freshwater planted Aquariums when we use Ro water we remineralise it as it’s far to pure and nothing really would live or grow in this pure water, now having read a few posts it seems...

    Hello, this is my second time trying to post this introduction. I have 4 Azureus Dart frogs and a corn snake. I did have 5 Azureus but due to the slum I have been living in not caring if their tenants have proper working air conditioners the viv got too hot a couple weeks back and one of my...

    My name is LadyBug. I keep Azureus Dart frogs and have a pet corn snake. I did have 5 frogs the youngest of which are near to 4 years old. Sadly the vivarium recently got too hot and one of my frogs met his sad end. I am still grieving for that. I have to blame my landlords in my current...

    I am new to this site and have had 2 Dendrobates tinctorius for about a year. They seem happy and healthy, but they keep going in the water for a day or so at a time. The tank is in the 70's and I mist it every day. From what I have read, it is not normal for dart frogs to spend much time in the...

    I have noticed that quite a few setups have holes drilled into the glass of their viviariums so they can drain them. Is this necessary? Is water buildup an issue usually? Also would an aquarium heater in the drainage layer help reduce this from happening? I assume it would speed up evaporation...

    I just finished a terrarium with the customized background. I am waiting for the plants that I got online. My question is very simple. I have been reading about the water that I should use to water the plants. Some people recommend distilled water some others recommend against it. But all of...

    I recently bought my first dart frog setup, a 30 gallon with 2 auzureus. Now I am thinking of setting up a second tank. Ive heard that darts can drown if they have deeper water, is this true? My first 30 has maybe 1 cm of water at the deepest, but im thinking of doing a pool with tetras or...
