Poison Dart Frogs

[Goods14]

I've been planning to set up a terrarium for quite some time for some of my orchids and am now thinking this is a good opportunity to try to keep PDFs. I have experience keeping fire belly toads, saltwater reef systems, tropical birds, etc. and I have always been interested in these frogs. I know a few people on the forum keep these so I am looking for a few suggestions.

My terrarium will probably be made out of an Exoterra cage (either the medium or large size). Lights would be the standard hood that goes with these cages. I will probably just use a hand sprayer to manually mist the enclosure or modify the sprayer to create a manual misting system. I'm going to have to research the substrate and false floor further but I'll probably start with a layer of hydroton or eggcrate.

Which species do you guys recommend for beginners? I think I only want at most a pair.

Also, I'll be keeping these in an apartment while I'm at school. Will stress be a problem moving them between the apartment and my house for Christmas/ summer break?

I don't plan on getting any frogs until this summer at the earliest but I may get the terrarium and start planting in the near future. Thanks for any input!
