Blue Poison Dart Frog

== Roleplays that feature this creature ==
== Other info ==
Males attract females with their song, and the females will fight aggressively over the males. Only the victorious female will breed with the male. 
=== Tadpole development ===
Eggs are laid in a sheltered, moist spot on land, and upon hatching, the tadpoles are carried on the back of their father to a tiny, elevated pool of water where the tadpoles will continue to grow. After the tadpoles are safely delivered to their pool, the mother takes over as the main caregiver, frequently visiting her tadpoles to provide them with unfertilized eggs as food.
Upon hatching, the tadpoles will have yet to develop adult coloration, instead appearing a very dark color. The back legs of the tadpoles come in at the age of 2 months, and at the age of 2 months and 2 weeks, the front legs come in and the froglets begin to develop adult coloration. It is at around this point in the froglets' life that the mother stops visiting to feed them, and the froglets become independent.
By the time the froglets are about 2 months, 3 weeks and 2 days old, their tails will have absorbed completely and they will leave the water for the first time. At this point in their lives, they look much like adult frogs, although they will still not be ready to become parents until they reach the age of 2 years.
