The golden poison frog is the largest species of the poison dart frog family, and can reach a weight of nearly 30 grams with a length of 6 cm as adults. [7] Females are typically larger than males. [4] The adults are brightly colored, while juvenile frogs have mostly black bodies with two golden-yellow stripes along their backs.
Phyllobates aurotaenia is a member of the frog family Dendrobatidae, [1] [2] which are found in the tropical environments of Central and South America. First described by zoologist George Albert Boulenger in 1913, [3] P. aurotaenia is known for being the third most poisonous frog in the world [citation needed].
The diurnal frogs live along the rainforest ground near streams or puddles that form. Notably, P. bicolor is a member of the family Dendrobatidae, or poison dart frog. P. bicolor, along with the rest of the Phyllobates species, produce a neurotoxin known as a batrachotoxin that inhibits specific transmembrane channels in cells. [3]

Golfodulcean poison frogs are communal animals, and have recently become available in the pet trade. [1] [5] They can be kept in a vivarium measuring about 100x60x60 cm, to grant the frogs both space to move around on the ground and space to climb. A clean, mossy substrate should be provided and, optionally, a carpet of leaves.
Epipedobates was erected in 1987 in an attempt to split dendrobatids into monophyletic genera, accommodating species that had until then been placed in Phyllobates.In the major revision of poison dart frogs in 2006, most of the species formerly placed in Epipedobates were then transferred to Ameerega, leaving behind just five species. [2]

Small or sluggish frogs can be kept in 60 x 30 x 30 cm terrariums; the highly active dendrobatids are an exception as they like to climb; dendrobatids generally need a terrarium of about 1 m x 60 cm x 60 cm. Large frogs, on the other hand, may need a terrarium measuring 1 m in each direction.
