Most don't even keep track of their humidity as as long as it's a planted tank that's misted with a glass top, the glass has condensation on it and it's high enough.

What kind of top did you have on tank? The environment should not be wet and humidity stays constant regardless of if you mist. I don't even mist every day some weeks and never even think about humidity.

Humidity is very misunderstood by new frog keepers. Many think they need a fogger or misting system to "control" humidity. No one should have to control it with dart frogs besides a glass top on their vivarium with very little ventilation, some say no ventilation besides opening up the glass lid every day.

You're from NY huh? Any plans on going to Frog Day.

If you go to Frog Day, I would bring 2 Azureus froglets for you if you're interested. They're the only ones ready to leave here. I have tons coming soon and this would be free of charge. I could use the karma and have had people be so generous to me in the past.

I'm sure Richard and Susan were more than generous as well so you might not need me.

Sorry to hear this happened.


EDIT: Sounds from reading again that people are going to take care of you for your next frogs. I wouldn't feel a loss if I did and like helping people. Though I don't want any noobs PMing me asking for free frogs please lol

Hi,

Based on your description of the lid on your tank, the frog must have shriveled up upon passing away. Parasites are certainly a possibility for the cause of death, despite how "plump" she was.

Definitely consider hopping back into the hobby again. Finish your new tank, and in 2-3 months, grab yourself a new dart frog. My first frog died, and while I was at a loss as to why myself, I took advantage of the sources of better breeders here and was hooked up with a very healthy pair of Vents.

Also, I am very happy to see that so many people are willing to give away a frog or two to you for free! Just to be involved with darts once again! This hobby is very close-knit, makes me proud to be here :).

Honestly, I was taken aback when I saw how many offers for free frogs I got. I received several PMs as well. It's really nice of all of you; I will definitely contact you guys sometime in the future if I decide to get back in it.
