I New to Reptilechannel.com and am looking for advice.

I have two D. Azureus frogs and im looking tho breed and sell them.

I have always loved reptiles (especially snakes and frogs) but im only a kid and have no money plus my mom doesnt like snakes that get huge.

If anyone has an idea of where i can get cheap rep goods for arrow frogs and small snakes plz help.

If any one knows a good snake for us that would be nice, not a giant ( say 4ft max), and would not cost alot to maintain electricity wise and terrarium wise.

Also any advise on how to breed D. Azureus and how to keep them healthy all info on any good reptiles is much acknowledged. I also want to know how to care for baby Azureus eggs tads and froglets.

 

Thanks and Happy Herping!

 

I am currently incubating Red Tail Boa eggs...

Hello, I may be able to help.

On your question concerning supplies, I assume your talking food, since that is the number one problem with dendrobatid frogs. Your best bet is to attend a herp show and purchase starter fruit fly cultures and culture materials there. One, you cut out shipping (thus reducing cost and possible die off), two, someone can teach you how to do it face to face, not face to monitor. Also, I find prices tend to be best at herp shows anyway. As far as small snakes, I can think of many that fit your category--what interests you most? How cheap is cheap? With answers to those questions I can help you further. As far as breeding D. azureus (which is now re-classified as another form of D. tinctorius), I could write you a story, or direct you to an excellent care sheet. Check out www.saurian.net  Pat Nabors already wrote several good care guides that will tell you everything you need to know. Happy research and happy herping!

actually pet stores usually carry both hydei and melanogaster fruit flies and small crickets, oyu can culture fruit flies easily
