Description
A Bright Gem of the Rainforest
The Yellow Poison Dart Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius “Citronella”) is one of the most visually stunning amphibians in the exotic pet world. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, this tiny frog dazzles with its bright yellow body, often contrasted by black or blue markings. Its vivid coloration serves as a natural warning in the wild — but in captivity, these frogs are completely harmless and safe to handle with care.
Habitat & Care:
Yellow Poison Dart Frogs thrive in a humid, planted terrarium that replicates the lush rainforest floor. A 45×45×45 cm enclosure suits a small group, filled with live plants, moss, and leaf litter for humidity and hiding spots. Maintain a temperature of 24–27 °C and humidity around 80–100%. Clean, dechlorinated water and good ventilation are essential.
Diet:
These frogs are insectivorous, feeding on small live insects such as fruit flies, springtails, and pinhead crickets. Regular dusting of their food with calcium and vitamin supplements ensures healthy growth and vibrant color.
Social, curious, and remarkably bold, Yellow Poison Dart Frogs are perfect for keepers seeking an active display species. With proper care, they can live up to 10 years or more, adding a vivid splash of tropical life to your terrarium.
