Dendrobates Tinctorious

The Tinctorious group of dart frogs cover a vast area ranging from Central America to the northern parts of South America. DEndrobates Auratus, Leucomelas, Truncatus, Azureus, and Tinctorious are all distinct included in this group. They have always been popular to keep because of their bright complex color patterns, charismatic nature and their overall ease in care. Tinctorious' are a highly intelligent hardy species. It should be noted that they are the most competitive and territorial of all the larger dart frog species. As juveniles they can be housed communally, but as adults it is ideal to house them individually, as a sexed pair, or as an unknown-sex pair. Sexual maturity comes at 12+ months of age at which time female to female aggression could occur and become a matter of concern. Attempts to house Tinctorious' in groups can result in one or more of the frogs doing poorly. Clutches of 4-15 eggs are laid on a petri dish under a coconut hut or some other type of hide. Typical life expectancy is 7-15 years with a few living over 30! They require lots of floor space in their enclosure. A 10 gallon is the smallest recommended size for a sexed pair.
