Dendrobates Leucomelas (eu-bred) M
Dendrobates leucomelas (also known as Yellow-banded poison dart frog) is one of the most durable and popular poison dart frogs for terrariums, especially in EU-bred individuals (European breeding). In breeding they feed on Drosophila, springtails, isopods and these foods do NOT contain toxins so they cannot synthesize poison. Although they are not poisonous, we do not catch them with bare hands (their skin is extremely sensitive and absorbs chemicals, soaps, sweat).
