Description
When: June 14, 2020
Where: Berkenhof Tropical Zoo Kwadendamme, The Netherlands
Frogs in vivariums are quite difficult to photograph - they love a humid environment, which is no good for cameras and also causes a mist on the glass with then leaves stains...
But we were lucky as this vivarium was neatly cleaned and held Frogs willing to be photographed 
Species: Golden Posion Frog (Pijlgifkikker)
Latin name: Phyllobates Terribilis
Originates from the pacific coasts of Colombia.
Current status: Endangered
Did you know:
…These Frogs are also known as Golden Frog, Golden Poison Arrow Frog and Golden Poison Dart Frog.
…Tey are relatively small in size, and brightly colored, but wild Frogs of this species are lethally toxic.
…The toxin exuded by Golden Poison Frog is used by indigenous people to soak the tips of their arrows which they then use to hunt.

What a colorful frog!
Going to do the research to verify, but I do believe you can handle it. As long as you wash up afterwards. However, I still don’t recommend doing so.
