Links
Below are some useful links. We have done business with all of the vendors listed below and they have our recommendation. The comments attached to each vendor are our personal observations,
Conservation Organizations
Tree Walkers International - A relatively new organization devoted to the conservation of amphibians worldwide.
Dendrobates.org - An organization focused on dart frogs.
INIBICO - A non government organization devoted to preservation of the rainforest and its inhabitants in Peru.
Frogtracks - An important resource to register and track dart frog lineages developed by Robb Melancon.
Dart Frog Forums
Dendroboard - Perhaps the best known and most well populated forum focused on dart frogs. Useful information for both the novice and experienced frogger.
Frognet - Email list that is used heavily by some of the more experienced froggers. Not as user friendly as Dendroboard but you are likely to find more in depth scientific discussions there.
Frog Breeders
Saurian Enterprises - Patrick Nabors is a long established breeder of a wide variety of frogs. In our experience the quality of his animals, care in shipping and customer service are top notch.
Fantasticus.net - Phil Tan specializes in the husbandry of thumbnail dart frogs and the results speak for themselves. Robust offspring, quality shipping methods and excellent communication. Phil has literally single handedly established several morphs/lines of frogs in the US hobby.
Quality Captives - A number of our breeding frogs have come from Quality Captives. Sarah and Melis care about their customers and are always willing to give advice to both the novice and experienced frogger. We have done quite well with their frogs and they come highly recommended.
Aaron's Frog Farm - Aaron Handzlik is a well established frog breeder and is very serious about maintenance of strong bloodlines in the hobby and also readily gives out information concerning his breeding setups, thoughts on future projects, etc.
Herpetologic - Sean Stewart works closely with INIBICO for the legal imporation of dart frogs from Peru. Money from the sale of these animals is applied to purchase land for preservation in Peru! Sean also has a large variety of captive bred frogs available.
Understory Enterprises - Based in Canada, this organization is noteworthy for a parallel project underway in Peru. Mark Pepper and his group are working hard in collaboration with colleagues in Peru to preserve our precious biodiversity while making offspring of frogs legally available to the hobby.
Food for frogs
Ed's Flymeat - Probably the premier source of feeder insects + media and equipment for culturing same. Dave and Erin are great people to work with and have excellent customer service. Highly recommended.
Materials, Plants and Supplies
Black Jungle - In business for over 10 years, Mike and Richard have an amazing assortment of supplies, plants and frogs. Their website is a must see and we done a fair amount of business with them. The automated ordering system through their website works quite smoothly. As a note, while some people find them hard to get ahold of in person, we have found that phoning their store during business hours works quite effectively.
Joshs Frogs - While relatively new to the scene, Josh is quickly establishing a reputation for himself in terms of a rapidly expanding list of items in his store and excellent customer service.
T&C Terrariums - T&C is notable for two reasons. The first is that most plants that they sell come as well rooted and good sized plants as opposed to the small rooted cuttings obtained from other vendors. The second is that they are one of the few suppliers of live tropical pillow moss.
Superior Enterprise - Superior has a wide variety of plastic containers used to culture fruit flies, serve as temporary containers for frogs, shipping supplies and items for the terrarium. Plus their shipping costs are very reasonable.
Calwest Orchid Supplies - Noteworthy for the availability of bulk high quality long fiber sphagnum moss.
