I have a 10gal tank that I want to start a paludarium with. I am super new to this but have had experience with fish tanks. i think paludariums are so much nicer. if anyone can give me any kind information on this it will be much appreciated. I have no idea where to start, but i want it to house dart frogs. Thanks guys!

I wouldn't start with dart frogs. I would get something a little hardier to test your own skills and perfect your own ways as dart frogs (from what I've read) are not as forgiving as other species.

I too am relatively new to this hobby, working my way up to dart frogs (which, not to mention can be very expensive frogs to "experiment" with). I started 3 months ago with 4 FBTs and man I can tell you I learned a LOT along the way. My next step is to create a Viv for them, once that's all good and everything works I'll move up to Red Eye Tree Frogs. Once I get the hang of those I'll probably make the move to PDFs.

Again, I'm speaking a s a newbie o some of the others on this site can give you better guidance.From what I've read and heard htough PDFs are not the way to get your foot in the door with this hobby.
