Description
The Costa Rican Green & Black Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus) is a classic and highly sought-after species known for its deep green patterning contrasted against a dark background. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central America, this terrestrial frog thrives in humid, well-planted enclosures that mimic its natural forest floor habitat. Captive-bred individuals are non-toxic and are known for their hardy nature, making them a great choice for both beginner and intermediate keepers. While slightly more shy than some dart frog species, their striking coloration and adaptability make them a standout addition to any terrarium.
