Default Temp control for dart frogs in Vivs

Hi everyone. I am very new to this and have been reading around about how to set up a dart frog vivarium. I think I have most of the info I need to set up the vivarium itself with misting system, etc. but I can't seem to find any articles on temerature control.

Until now, I have been keeping reptiles and am very familiar with the various thermostats on the market for them. I use Helixs on all of my racks, etc. but am stumped on what to do for my vivarium, or if I even need such a thing.

I don't know what kind of darts I'm going to get yet, so I'm open to suggestions. I know that between them, there is probably a difference in prefered temp ranges. I'd love to hear any suggestions.

Thanks!
-Catie

The range you want is the mid 70s not higher than 80-82 not lower than about 72. most can drop to the 65 or 68 at night no problems. most room temps will be fine. if they are in a room that drops below 65 on a regular basis you would want to heat the tank.
