Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates auratus - Camo
Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates auratus - El Cope
The largest and the boldest of all of the auratus we work with. There is some variation in this morph with dorsal coloration.
Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates auratus - Microspot
Whether this morph is just a variant of the green and bronze Panamanian auratus or a true auratus remains up for debate. We are working with F1 animals from SNDF and F2 groups from our original group. For the most part they breed true, but some individuals have large bronze spots as opposed to "microspots".
Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates auratus - Super Blue
Dendrobates auratus
Dendrobates auratus "El Cope"
We are working with F1 animals from SNDF of this spectacular frog. Some animals are decidedly green rather than blue, but nearly all will develop a stunning bronze on the dorsum and limbs, which only intensifies with age.
Description
Dendrobates auratus is a medium to large sized poison frog distributed throughout central America from Nicaragua through to extreme northern regions of Colombia, with introduced populations found in Hawaii. Throughout its range, auratus is distributed in lowland and pre-montane forest regions, occasionally venturing above 1000m. Auratus may frequently be found in close proximity to human settlements, in highly disturbed habitats and even within the confines of larger cities (Siquirres, Costa Rica).
In captivity, auratus has earned the deserved reputation of being a good beginner species, given its hardy nature, abundance, and affordable price. The variety of phenotypes represented within the species add to its intrigue and desirability and has earned auratus of one form or another a place in almost every poison frog collection.
