I've said this once and I'll say it again, you Germans are so lucky.
That is one AWESOME Frog!

Do you have any more Frogs besides that Monkey Frog? Can you please post pictures of any others you have?
You have such an amazing collection.

Thank you!!!

Yes, I have a few more frog species and will surely post pics of them in other threads, ok?!

please do post more!


we should have a "Lars" subforum. I would never leave it.


So where do they get their poison from? something they eat or is it something they absorb from their surroundings? bacteria? or am i way off?

Wow, thanks!!!

Yes, they are getting poisonous from their diet.
They mainly eat mites and small ants in the wilderness.

What part of their diet is poisonous exactly?
And does this go for all the poison arrow frog species?

Both, the mites and the ants (formic acid) are the reason for the poisonousness.
And yes, this goes for all poison arrow frogs.
