Description
The Highland Bronze Dart Frog (Dendrobates auratus) is a beautiful and highly desirable morph, prized for its rich bronze tones set against dark, naturalistic patterning. This listing is for a genuine confirmed female, making her especially valuable for anyone looking to form a breeding pair or strengthen an existing group.
Dendrobates auratus are known for their calm, steady nature and slightly more secretive behaviour compared to tinctorius, although well-settled individuals regularly become visible in a mature, planted vivarium. The Highland Bronze morph originates from higher elevation populations and displays deep earthy bronze markings that blend beautifully into naturalistic bioactive environments.
This confirmed female has been captive raised, properly supplemented, and maintained in optimal tropical bioactive conditions. She is well established, feeding strongly on dusted fruit flies and micro invertebrates, and showing excellent health and body condition.
Female dart frogs play the key role in successful breeding, selecting egg deposition sites and supporting early development. Securing a confirmed female is often the hardest step in building a productive and stable breeding group.
Highland Bronze dart frogs thrive in humid, well-planted bioactive vivariums with leaf litter, cork, climbing structure, and active microfauna. Their natural tones make them particularly striking in rainforest-style enclosures.
Whether you are an experienced keeper, breeder, or collector of locality and morph variations, this confirmed female Highland Bronze Dendrobates auratus represents a quality, foundation animal.
