The Blue Poison Dart Frog is a small, brightly colored amphibian native to the rainforests of Suriname and French Guiana. It is known for its striking blue skin, which can be a warning to predators about its toxicity. These frogs typically grow to about 1.5 inches in length and are part of the Dendrobatidae family. These frogs primarily feed on small insects, which contribute to their toxic skin. The toxicity of the Blue Poison Dart Frog is due to the alkaloids they absorb from their diet in the wild. In captivity, where their diet is controlled, they do not develop the same level of toxicity.
