Im thinking about getting a pair of dart frogs and been reading up on them. was just wondering if the exo terra cages work well for them?

Not in my opinion, but they can be modified. I prefer using an aquarium placed on end using one of these kits - http://www.junglebox.net/category/VIV.html

The Exo Terra's are not fruit fly proof and I prefer not having a screen top unless you are keeping them in a room that already has high humidity.

Yea, ive had better success out of other cages, but exoterras can and do work. You won't regret getting some dart frogs. EVERYBODY loves them, and theyre just as addicting as snakes, so be warned.

Yeah Steve I have always been a fan of them just never dove into it cause I kill every plant I touch so that will be the hard part for me keeping the plants alive haha.

I used to have the same problem. But when you set up the viv right with the right lighting I have too MUCH growth! It's awsome! My lighting consists of a glow light in addition to a natural sunlight bulb. Do perfect for plants and frogs alike.
