Poison tree frogs???

They can be quite colorful and pretty easy to keep in a terrarium according to people I talked to in a frog zoo in Costa Rica. And of course most of them, including the most colorful ones, are not even particularly poisonous, at least in captivity as the poison is thought to come from their diet. Only a few of the more than 100 species were routinely used for the purpose of providing poison for darts and they are typically not the most colorful ones. I handled several in Costa Rica, both wild and captive, with no effect (That I am aware of!).


From our trip to Costa Rica in 2005. A wild frog that I had the chance to handle. In the picture those are the hands of the guide, not me! Somebody had to take the picture...
