They get up to only up to 3 inches MAX
Average Price:25$
i have to disagree, i kept poison darts and mantellas for two years and theyre not easy requiring humid enviroments, theyre expsensive and fragile. plus they cant swim so that makes it even harder to keep it humid

only thing i don't like about crested is price.. might just be my pet store.. but they sell from 60-75$ apiece and are only like 2 inches..
and people.. don't post something that would be cool to have (such as a poison dart frog...), post something that a beginner could easily keep, and enjoy.. as said, poison darts need lots and lots of humidity, and if handled to much will probably get poinsoned through their skin..
i's still go with the leopard.. but thats just me.. i'm sure whatever you chose he'll love, just make sure he holds it and keeps it nice.

lmao, when i had my first crested (about 2002, the "crested dawn"[aka about the time crested first came into the hobby]) it was $130, not even a morph, 3 inches bing, thats it

thanks 30. I'm pretty sure were gonna do the crested. It'll just be a little while now. SW habit gets in the way
. Like I said "not to creepy" snakes and poison dart frogs would NOT work. But that crested sure is cute! My iguana used to ride on my head, I put a leash on him and took him for walks that way. He loved the sand volleyball courts.
Bout 20 years ago though.
