Size: Adult female Pena Blanca Auratus are larger, measuring in at approximately 1.5 inches. Male Pena Blanca auratus are a bit smaller, averaging about 1.25 inches at maturity. All of the Dendrobates auratus 'Pena Blanca' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 5/8” long.
Age: Dendrobates auratus 'Pena Blanca' 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 Green and Black Auratus for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.
