These terrestrial frogs are found from Costa Rica to Brazil. They like high humidity and dense vegetation. They defend their territories aggressively with posturing, chasing and wrestling. The bright turquoise blue body with black spots and darker blue legs is very striking. Blue males have heart shaped front toes, females are larger than males and tadpoles are cannibalistic. Life span is two to ten years.
I took this macro shot at an exotic pet store through an aquarium. The actual size of this little guy was about a half inch in length. (TINY!) - They priced out at $50.00 for one!
