Formerly known as "Dendrobates Galactonotus", but renamed to Adelphobates galactonotus aka splash backed poison frog or splashback poison frog.

This dart frog comes from Brazil.

This is a plump juvenile "orange' morph.

The Rainmaker Misting System Kit. Used by more zoo's & other pro's than any other system since 1995!

Push to connect misting system is easy to install. High quality misting nozzles produce ultra fine mist. Stimulates breeding activity.

The most toxic varieties of poison dart frogs are the Phyllobates terribillis, Phyllobates bicolor & Phyllobates aurotaenia.

Frog shown in your pic is a Dendrobates pumilio "blue jean" variety. A rarer type but some others much more threatened.

This is one of the larger poison dart frogs. Its named Dendrobates tinctorius “Green Sipaliwini ”

The Sipaliwini Savannah in Brazil & Suriname are home to many forms of Dendrobates tinctorius.

Reptile show was tiny unfortunately. Only ending buying a new cork bark tube and two fruit fly cultures. I added the tube to my Terribs enclosure and it give them and the plants something to climb. #vivariim #FrogsOMarch #reptileshow #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

D. Azureus, once thought to be a separate species. But now the "Blue Poison Dart frog" is confirmed to be a type of D. tinctorius.

Dendrobates Azureus, once thought to be a separate species. But now the "Blue Poison Dart frog" is confirmed to be a type of Dendrobates tinctorius.

Dendrobates tinctorius "InferAlanis" or simply "alanis" Pictured here are 2 of 10 W/C adults from the first known importation into the US.

A very productive group once established. Many from this bloodline now in trade.

The Poison Dart Frog known as Dendrobates tinctorius "yellowback"

Shown below is an F1 tadpole from W/C parents collected during an expedition to French Guiana.

Many from this bloodline were monstrous. Shown on a US quarter dollar for scale.

Many Mantellas such as this Mantella pulchra have drab colors on the back but brilliant flash marks on the belly.

Many Mantellas flip upside down when threatened, exposing flash marks that confuse predators.

This is one of the most well known poison dart frogs in the trade. Shown here is the Nicaraguan form of Dendrobates auratus. This one has some yellow on its legs.

Ameerega silverstonei formerly Epipedobates silverstonei

Needs an extremely large enclosure with lots of dark hiding spots.

W/C adults so nervous they will kill themselves by bouncing off of walls of the enclosure

Definately not for the novice! $$$$+++

One of the smaller poison dart frogs. Ranitomeya fantasticus, formerly known as Dendrobates fantasticus

From Peru. Not overly shy. Tends to lay smaller clutches of eggs

Just some basic dart frog advice. If they arent plump or fat, they arent healthy!

Dendrobates Azureus, aka "Blue Poison Dart frog" now confirmed to be a type of Dendrobates tinctorius

As with most frogs, breeding activity can be stimulated by frequent misting
