Description

We’re proud to offer UK-bred Dendrobates tinctorius “Tumucumaque” dart frogs – a rare and commanding morph known for its dark black body, high-contrast yellow markings, and robust build. As a large-bodied terrestrial species, these frogs make excellent focal animals for horizontal rainforest-style vivaria.
These juveniles are now 6 months out of water, feeding confidently on dusted fruit flies and springtails, and have been raised in well-ventilated, high-humidity enclosures with leaf litter, cork bark, and live plants. Like all tinctorius morphs, they are bold, often visible, and full of personality — ideal for display tanks or experienced dart frog keepers.

✅ 6 months out of water
✅ Rare tinctorius morph – not commonly seen in UK collections
✅ Ground-dwelling species suited to planted, horizontal setups
Collection either Nottingham or Kent. Else a Currier can be arranged. Just leave a note on your order regarding preferred pickup location

If you’re looking for Dendrobates tinctorius for sale in the UK, these Tumucumaque juveniles are a stunning and seldom-offered morph, responsibly bred and ready for their new home.

Dendrobates tinctorius social note: both male–male and female–female aggression are documented in wild D. tinctorius, including prolonged physical combat. Frogfather therefore does not present trio or group housing as a default recommendation for this species. Pairs are a practical starting arrangement for many captive situations, but even pairs require observation and individual animals may need separation.

Social Housing & Behaviour Review

Last reviewed: 5 September 2026

Poison-frog social systems differ substantially between species and can also change with sex, maturity, breeding condition, enclosure structure and individual temperament. A group that appears stable as juveniles may not remain compatible after sexual maturity.

Do not treat “pair”, “trio” or “group” as a universal stocking rule. Provide visual barriers, multiple feeding and refuge areas, monitor body condition and behaviour, and have a separate suitable enclosure available if persistent chasing, wrestling, exclusion from food or shelter, weight loss or other signs of incompatibility develop.

Very happy with the items, delivery and communication.

When my terrarium is ready, will be getting my frogs from Frogfather UK.

Edit**

In addition to the points mentioned initially, after further communication and purchases, I would also like to say thank you to Tony for his experience and guidance, helping out a novice like myself. Much appreciated.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing products, but they are definitely having shipping issues unfortunately! Not completely their fault however it took 2 weeks to receive my parcel due to it being sent as a large letter in too big of a box! Thank you regardless, all the springtails are shockingly still doing well and the food I have heard amazing things about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I have never visited the store (it's a bit far away from me) their website is fantastic especially for an invert keeper like me who wants to keep up to date with the latest shows and where they are but isn't on social media. It's the little things that really matter.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tony is amazing. I collected a ready to go vivarium and three Powder Blue Dart Frogs and I left with everything I needed to get going. I had been messaging Tony for a few months before I got my frogs so that I had all the info I needed. I also did his course which is invaluable. Would go to the Frog Father for everything.
Exceptional service.
