Speaking of which, I have handeled hundreds upon hundreds of toads, got pissed on a hundred times too, never got a wart....

In captivity they are non-toxic.
They derive there toxins from bugs who eats certain plant alkaloids in the rainforest's. So there is no reason to worry about them being toxic.

How are they poisonous? By the touch? The slime? Why do they call them darts?

Tribes in the rainforest's who use these animals to hunt by rubbing there darts on there backs Namely used this specie: Phyllobates terribilis




Dendrobates leucomelas: Are not as highly toxic as Phyllobates terribilis. And were not used by indigenous tribes in South America for these darts.

They secrete there toxins from pores on there back. (they are not venomos they are toxic... wholw different subject BTW) And in turn into the mucous on there skin...
Its really cool when you fist look at them there skin dont really have a "wet" appearance... But as you observe them and they know your there looking at them or holding them you will see there back get slimy and start getting more mucous (slime) on there backs... That is them doing what there do naturally. That is how they kill animals who attack them... But typically there bright color is well enough warning to any animals in the rainforest's to stay away.

Phyllobates terribilis has enough toxin on its skin to kill between ten to twenty men or about ten thousand mice
They are more poisonous than rattle snakes.

They found alkaloids on the back of Epipedobates tricolor:

That has medicinal usage
Its a painkiller 200-times as potent as morphine, called epibatidine Problem is that is causes gastrointestinal issues so it is not suitable to use until they can find a way get rid of that side effect.

I took those pictures off dendroboard.com
I am not going to post pictures of my frogs or my terrariums here on the shroomery Because of Identification purposes You could match my terrarium up with pictures I have posted On dendroboard. or use identification techniques to determine that these frog match these frogs and Figure out who I am on Dendroboard.
All pictures I posted here I took off the internet or dendroboard and I am not claiming any of them to be mine.
But to give you a idea of what kind of terrariums they are growing out from. Here are some pictures.



This would be a typical breeders terrarium.:
 You would make them from 10 gallon fish tanks, silicone and glass cut from the local hardware store.
Here is a build of a typical Exo-terra Terrarium you can get from any petstore that carries reptiles.

Use GreatStuff (A foam insulation that is sticky comes in a aresol can and dries into a solid foam) Wood to stick to the back to give the terrarium depth use coco coir and silicone. spread the silicone all over the back. and stick coco coir to it.


What your basically doing is recreating a tiny piece of the rainforest into a terrarium. And then putting frogs in it.
Live plants are pretty must 100% necessary because there resparation will give off humidity allowing the frogs to live.
And the poop the frogs secrete will keep the plants alive...
All you add is, Light, Water, and Bugs for the frogs to eat.

Nah dude its all good, this is interesting stuff, Ive kept frogs before but only local ones in a less complicated setup......I would like to have an exotic frog terrarium in the future, except a BIG one....Is there any other species of frogs or other animals you can keep with them?....I know some are territorial so you probably can't....but the ones that arent territorial?? Like some lizards ro other stuff?
