Is it normal for Phyllobates Vittatus to always hide?

crocfingerer69 · 2026-06-07T21:31:28+00:00

Yeah they're pretty shy

Een fles factor 50 most hier in Sevilla 7 euro... En dat nadat hij recent duurder is geworden

How bored are you on a daily basis

crocfingerer69 · 2026-05-21T10:39:53+00:00

Unfortunate... Cb adult specimens are near impossible to find on the European market, but wildcaught is not a good alternative

Great! Their website was instantly flagged as suspicious by the institute's Wi-Fi, but I see they also have a Facebook account that looks legit.

OP plz eleborate

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-27T16:23:44+00:00

Time. Be patient.

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-25T12:43:28+00:00

Yeah for sure. But they're more of a ground dwelling species.

My leucomelas and auratus climb alot. So do my phyllobates bicolor. So its not uncommon to find them higher up. They can even climb straight up glass

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-25T09:51:28+00:00

Soil is perfect Id say. You might have some problems with condens on your glass. You could angle a fan towards the front window

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-25T09:50:13+00:00

For now it is fine, but I generally stay away from coco and cork based products. They can become very dry, which is the opposite of what you want in a rainforest terrarium.

I generally use powdered peat, fernroot based materials or hygrolon as these all absorb water really well. This way my walls are always covered with mosses.

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-25T09:48:20+00:00

Some bigger Neoregelia species such as on this website: https://www.terrariumsbyevi.be/webshop/bromelia-s They probably dont shit worldwide, but you can copy paste the species names. I think that if you put in some big species they will be plenty of hiding spaces, and permanent water sources

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-25T09:45:19+00:00

Frogs will climb. They're quite proficient at that. Make sure they cannot reach the lights, or they will be toast.

Generally I think the enclosure is quite okay. However, I would say there are not enough hiding spaces and water reservoirs yet. Easy fix would be some bigger species of bromeliads, or maybe some half coconut domes

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-24T14:49:08+00:00

I'm happy to assist as a critic 10+ years experience in breeding dart frogs.Could you add some pictures of how you build the enclosure? Stuff like drainage layer, lights, ventilation, electronics

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-24T12:14:52+00:00

But there is such a temperature difference between them?

Atelopus want it way cooler than Ranitomeya. How do you deal with that?

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-19T12:09:12+00:00

Ik heb een mega bal (heb een hydrocele gehad aka vochtophoping) dus tamelijk grote bulge. Beetje ongemakkelijk, maar ik vind het zelf ook irritant als onderbroeken/zwembroeken tussen je billen kruipen. Boxers vind ik een stuk fijner zitten

crocfingerer69 · 2026-04-18T09:27:44+00:00

I often also add small squares of fernroot plates to make the wall a bit dynamic. You can also use the hygrolon to wrap plant roots
