Description
A photo I took for lisasenviroshows.com with Lisa's camera. She does educational science shows for local schools in Maryland, and breeds dart frogs like these
Dart frogs are not poisonous when bred in captivity. Their deadly toxins come from their diet in the wild.

(By "diet" I mean "non-poisonous." I just couldn't resist making a pun on Dart Cola. Sigh.)

She got some wild-caught from a friend once, and she had to give them back because they gave her flu-like symptoms and killed some of her invertebrates, just from being in the same house! They poisoned the air!

Very brightly colored, great picture! I've never seen a dart frog. I guess you're the lucky one!
