All of the Dendrobates auratus 'Super Blue' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 5/8” long.
Age: Dendrobates auratus 'Super Blue' is capable of living well over 20 years in captivity under ideal conditions, although a lifespan of 10 years is more common. I had a friend who had a pair of auratus still breeding after keeping them for 27 years, and they were wild caught adults when he received them in the early 1990s! In the wild, it is thought that auratus may live 4-6 years. All 'Super Blue' Auratus for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.
Color/Pattern: A typically bright blue/teal poison dart frog, Dendrobates auratus 'Super Blue' is very variable. Varying amounts of black ot brown to bronze constrasts nicely will a bright blue or turquoise, or somewhere inbetween. As Super Blue auratus age, their colors often change a bit as well. The intensity of the blue can vary a bit. The blue/black pattern typically resembles camo, but occasionally a spot or stripe can make itself apparent.
