Are Poison Dart Frogs Really Poisonous?

December 1st 2009 19:00

Dart frogs are a popular pet frog among many enthusiasts, but they are a very fragile pet. In the wild, the species are poisonous, but when put in captivity and the diet changes, they are not longer poisonous. This in turn changes their stability as an animal, so to speak. If their enclosure isn't just right, then they won't survive well. Frogs, in general are good pets, but not all are great for beginners, and being that dart frogs come in a wide variety of colors, they are generally a first choice, but they're not for everyone to care for.

In terms of being poisonous though, they're just not poisonous in captivity, which is why they are sold as pets and are legal to sell. Unlike many states, where you have to have a permit to have poisonous and/or venomous pets, dart frogs are legal in all states because they are safe pets.

I heard this theory but am not willing to test it!

I didn't have success in keeping these beautiful frogs...live and learn. In the wild they feed on red ants that are the real poison generators. In captivity they feed on fruit flies culture, that become a problem for our surroundings and environment, when supply exceeds demand.

Poison or not, handle as little as possible and ALWAYS wash your hands after coming in contact with them and their surroundings.
