Size: Adult female Hawaiian Auratus are larger, measuring in at approximately 1.25 inches. Male Hawaiian auratus are a bit smaller, averaging about 1 inch at maturity. All of the Dendrobates auratus 'Hawaiian' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure at least 5/8” long.
Age: Dendrobates auratus 'Hawaiian' 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 galacs may live 4-6 years. All 'Hawaiian' Auratus for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.
Color/Pattern: A typically green and brown poison dart frog, Dendrobates auratus 'Hawaiian' is not very variable. Varying amounts of brown or bronze constrasts nicely will a bright, forest green. As Hawaiian auratus age, their colors often change a bit as well. The intensity of the green can vary a bit, from a yellowish green to a forest green. The green/brown pattern typically resembles camo, but occasionally a spot or stripe can make itself apparent.
