Also called Anthony’s Poison Dart Frogs. Active during the day (diurnal). Females lay clutches of 10-40 eggs w/ male guarding them until they hatch 2 weeks later. When tadpoles hatch, male carries them to water body where they stay until metamorphosing into froglets 2 months later. They stay in froglet stage until reaching maturity at 5 months old. Coloration serves as warning to potential predators. Males make trilling calls & croaks. Capture prey using sticky tongue. Like all Poison Frogs, they have good eyesight. Fights usually involve wrestling & don’t result in much injury. Stable but declining due to pet trade, restricted range, pollution, & collection for medicinal use. Fun Fact(s): Hunters use skin toxins on darts/arrows. While poisonous in wild, they lose much/all toxicity in captivity due to diet.
