Phyllobates bicolor & terribilis

P bicolor & P terribilis Information

The Phyllobates genus, in nature, has the most poisonous species of frogs, known as Phyllobates bicolor and Phyllobates terribilis aka the Golden Dart Frog. Wild terribilis are capable of killing 10-15 adult men. In captivity, bicolor and terribilis are NOT toxic, since their diet that causes them to be poisonous in the wild isn't available in captivity.


Phyllobates bicolor and terribilis have very similar looks, care and behaviour.  Bicolor have black or green legs. In the wild they aren't as potent as terribilis. 


There are three main colours of terribilis, mint (mint green to whitish), orange, and yellow. There are also  "Blackfoot" variations of orange and yellow. Blackfoot can have varying amounts of black on their legs/feet, they are very striking with full black gloves but won't necessarily breed true and could have a variety of offspring with full black gloves to just black fingers and toes.


Terribilis and bicolor are an amazing captive frog, bold and curious, great in groups, they are visible most of the time. When it's feeding time they often come to the door. When reaching into the terrarium they generally stay where they are, without the normal panicked hiding a lot of dart frogs display when having their territory invaded.


One thing to keep in mind with terribilis, they do like water but too wet can be deadly. The substrate shouldn't be too wet and they shouldn't be given ponds or waterfalls because they are prone to foot rot, also keeping their tank a bit cooler (low to mid 20's) is better for their health. 


These are wonderful pet frogs because they don't shy away which makes them great to watch or photograph. I guess when you know you're supposed to be deadly poisonous, you tend to think you're invincible.
