A striking amphibian native to the rainforests of Venezuela. Renowned for its vivid yellow and black colouration, this small frog uses potent toxins to deter predators.

Their vibrant patterns serve as a warning signal, making them a fascinating example of aposematic colouration in nature.
Adult size: 3 - 4cm.
Life Span: 4 - 8 years.
These are NON toxic in captivity, the toxins derive from their diet in the wild.
