The Blue Foot Leucomelas Dart Frog combines yellow-green bands, glossy black markings and blue-green feet. This day-active frog makes an engaging display animal in a well-planted tropical vivarium.
Origin
The Blue Foot form is associated with the Cerro Autana region of Venezuela. Keep locality forms separate.
Temperature & Humidity
Aim for 22–25°C with a modest night drop and humidity around 80–100%. Provide drainage and ventilation; avoid overheating and waterlogged substrate. Monitor conditions with digital gauges.
Enclosure
Provide at least 60 × 45 × 45 cm for an adult pair or small compatible group, increasing space as needed. Include dense plants, leaf litter, hides and only shallow accessible water.
Diet

Handling & Temperament
A display amphibian: avoid routine handling. Monitor each frog for feeding and signs of bullying; separate incompatible individuals.
