lol...


Can I see where they reccomend 2.5 gallons/frog?!?!? That seems REALLY small the smallest I've seen is 5/frog, which is still small...Lately It's suggeted that it's roughly 10 gallons per frog no matter the species.

Not trying to start a fight, just curious...

No, the guitar's much bigger than that. I just took measurements...
Body Length - 20"
Body width - 15.5" (bottom)/ 11.5" (top)
Body depth - averages at just over 4"

I'm mostly after suggestions as to what I can do with this particular guitar (as I've already begun dismantling it) although I'm obviously thinking of other projects in the future if this doesn't work for the dart frogs

With the discussion of how big an environment is needed, my biggest question is what do they need from tank size? I mean, I know a desert lizard needs space to run, and a fish needs space to turn around and grow, but what influences a tiny dart frog's space requirements?

Ground space, and places to climb, etc... It may seem like they don't need a lot, but If I remember correctly, in the wild a lot of dart frogs control roughly a 8metreX8metre each. (aside from breeding and raising tadpoles)

8 metre? Now the guitar looks tiny

Is there another jungle animal that moves around more, that could work with the diagram-setup I drew earlier?
(I know, I know, this is a dart frog forum...!)

Crabs are interesting... vampires and Thai reds,, which are apparently almost the same to care for. (Though I've seen thai reds in stores)

Are there any active herps that might move between the guitar and a conjoined cage? I'm also wondering if the guitar could serve as a swim area for an amphibian. I've heard Emperor newts don't like a huge amount of swim space... I'm off to research them now.
