Eyelash Viper, Golden and Strawberry poison dartfrog exhibit

Bothreichis schlegelii, Phyllobates terribilis and Oophaga pumilio.
They prettymuch ignore one another, the golden darts are terrestrial, the strawberries are arboreal and the vipers are nocturnal and not interested in eating dart frogs ;)
Darts have Aposematic colouration, they advertise the fact that they are toxic :)

Both of the dendrobatid species breed in there, the vipers have not had an opportunity to breed yet but "Big Yellow" our female that bred in 2007 bred and gave birth in an enclosure shared with green and black dart frogs and trinidad stream frogs.
 
Do you still have the stream frogs jerseylotte? i used to keep them myself they breed like mice, some of mine went to a breeder in Holland and from there some went to Antwerp zoo
I was shown around behind the scenes on my visit in 200 by Donna I wonder if she is still there?
