Size: Adult female terribilis are larger, measuring in at approximately 2 inches. Male terribs tend to be a bit smaller, averaging about 1.75 inches at maturity. Size is not always a good indication of sex, however - even when dealing with frogs that are several years old! All of the Phyllobates terribilis 'Mint' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 5/8” long.
Age: Phyllobates terribilis 'Mint' is capable of living well over 20 years in captivity under ideal conditions, although a lifespan of 10 years is more common. All terribs for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.
Color/Pattern: Phyllobates terribilis 'Mint' are not very variable, and most individuals are virtually identical to each other. When young, mint terriblis come out of the water as a mostly black frog. As they age, this U spreads and eventually covers 95% or more of the frog's body, with a bit of black remaining around the nostrils/mouth and toes. Josh's Frogs does not recommend, support, or endorse line breeding as we believe this leads to weaker captive animals and nature has done a wonderful job of creating an amazing variation in color and pattern of poison dart frogs already.
