The place where poison dart frogs live are called rain forest. This warm, wet weather is what poison dart frogs need. The rain lets the kinds of plants the frogs need to live on grow here. The warm weather keeps the frogs from getting too cold and it also means that there are lots of insects for the poison dart frogs to eat.

poison arrow frogs never lay live young, they always lay eggs. but sometimes they can give birth to live young and not eggs, beacause the eggs can never become live young, therefore the eggs are not live young, meaning that the live young become eggs after they are hatched.

How does a poison arrow frog avoid predators?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Poisonous frogs have the poison on their skins or it is excreted through the skin. When a animal or human touches the frog, the poison transfers through skin to skin contact. If an animal tries to bite or eat the frog (example: a snake or possum), the poisons transfer from the frog's skin to the predator's mouth. Did you know that most poisonous frogs are also the most colorful? The distinctive coloring is part of their warning system, "Don't eat me; I'll taste bad and kill you."

How long is a strawberry poison frog height?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Poison dart frogs (There are more than 100 different species) typically range from approximately one half of an inch long (1.27 cm) for juveniles to four inches (10.32 cm) for adults, although I have personally seen some at over 5 inches (12.86 cm).

A dart frogs height (If it is laying down) is about one third of the total length for young frogs, and one quarter of the length for larger ones. However, the front legs are often extended as they rest on their haunches which could make them as tall as they are long.

Hope that helps!

Does a poison dart frog care for its young?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They carry their newly hatched tadpoles into the canopy; the tadpoles stick to the mucus on the back of their parents. Once in the upper reaches of the rainforest trees the parents deposit their young in the pools of water that accumulate in Epiphyticplants such as Bromeliads. The tadpoles feed on invertebrates in their arboreal nursery and their mother will even supplement their Answers.com by depositing eggs into the water.
