In today's video, I'll be showing you how I set up two small and simple breeder vivariums for thumbnail poison dart frogs. These enclosures don't even have a background, and they only took me a few hours to complete! However their dimensions are designed in a very smart way to make the most out of the space, since they are very narrow and very deep.
