My uncle found these two frogs on his vacation in Costa Rica this week. He has a resort at the tip of the Osa Peninsula near Panama. The Vittatus he found near a waterfall, and the Auratus was found on a nature hike around his home. I know everyone says don't touch the frogs, but I don't think he knew better. And if you didn't know what dart frogs were, how could you not touch them?! Here are the pics:

Phyllobates Vittatus:

And the Costa Rican Green and Black (I would imagine) with very cool coloration:

I went when I was 6, so I didn't know any of the animals there, but I saw toucans, snakes, and tons of other animals. My uncle said we should visit next year, so I will make a thread for that if I go.

Actually, those would be the Pacific versant and that is pretty standard coloration for frogs on that side of Costa Rica. The Costa Rican auratus we have in the hobby are from the Atlantic versant and have a lot more green coloration to them.
