Description
Ranitomeya ventrimaculata, (as is currently classified) enjoys the most wide spread distribution of any Dendrobatid, spanning the entire continent of South America, it may be found from the eastern most extremities of the Andean foothills across the entire Amazon basin reaching the Guyana shield.
The appearance of ventrimaculata may vary greatly from locality to locality; the colour and the width of the dorsal and lateral striping is highly variable. Wild ventrimaculata are often highly arboreal spending their time amongst bromeliads and epiphytes in the upper strata of the forest.
Though small, these frogs have proven to be hardy captives which reproduce readily in the vivarium. For any hobbyist looking to cut their teeth with Ranitomeya species we highly recommend ventrimaculata as a first choice.
