Defining Characteristics:

Size: Adult female Ancon Hill Auratus are larger, measuring in at approximately 1 inch. Male Ancon Hill auratus are a bit smaller, averaging about .8 inches at maturity. All of the Dendrobates auratus 'Ancon Hill' froglets Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 5/8” long.
Age: Dendrobates auratus 'Ancon Hill' 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.
Color/Pattern: A typically green and brown poison dart frog, Dendrobates auratus 'Ancon Hill' is very variable. Varying amounts of green (sometimes turquoise) clash with a brown background. 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.
