All of the Dendrobates tinctorius 'Citronella' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 5/8” long.
Age: Dendrobates tinctorius 'Citronella' is capable of living well over 20 years in captivity under ideal conditions, although a lifespan of 10 years is more common. In the wild, it is thought that Citronella may live 4-6 years. All Cits for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles, and are 2-3 months old.
Color/Pattern: A very variable poison dart frog, all Dendrobates tinctorius 'Citronella' are mostly bright lemon yellow interrupted by black spots or blotches, and no spots in some individuals. The amount of yellow can vary substantially among individuals, even siblings. Some Citronella have yellow 'bracelets' around their front wrists.
