new to vivariums

[bob_thing5]

I am new to this site and the hobby as well, I have had years of fish tank experience but want to get started with a vivarium.
I wanted mostly poison dart frogs and or tree frogs(tropical\colorfull) I have always loved dart frogs but never new that they lose their poison in captivity. I guess the reall question is can I mix dart frogs with carnivorous plants? I want many live plants but the focal point was the dart frogs carnivorous plants and maybe some orchids, does anybody have any objection or suggestions for hardware lighting good plants to mix?

[bob_thing5]

I dont know much about carnivorous plants either so good soil, humididty and temp are unknown to me at this point.

From what I have read most carnivorous plants do not do well in a dart frog environment. Dart frogs require more humidity than most carnivorous plants. Also, there is the possibility of losing a frog to the plant.

this is a strange question, but does anybody know if you can grow lichen in a warm humid environment, and if you can buy it online anywhere? another questions poisonous plants to amphibians, anything not to go for? mushrooms?

many times mushrooms will grow on their own in your frog tank. it is a great environment for them. I know you can buy dry lichen for your viv but dont know if you can grow it.

does anybody know about chameleons? I have been looking for one that gets no more than 3 inches long, female and does well in warm (80) and humid environment, preferably colorful.

The Pigmy Leaf Chameleon gets only about 3" but they are woodland, not tropical... they aren't much to look at either if you ask me.
