Secure a true collectors'-tier heavyweight for your bioactive arena with the Lawa Mountain Tinc (Dendrobates tinctorius 'Lawa Mountain'). Hailing from an isolated, high-altitude mountain region in Suriname, this rare and prestigious locale is celebrated for its unique, high-impact coloration. It sports a broad, solid bright-yellow to deep-cream cape that blankets its back, slamming into a midnight-black body and finished with rich, dark-blue to violet legs. It is an imposing, beautiful specimen that anchors any setup with elite status.

Lawa Mountains play a commanding, highly confident ground game. Being true heavyweights of the tinctorius lineage, their robust size gives them massive battlefield security. They don't waste time hiding under wood; these bold champions prefer to actively patrol the foreground of the enclosure, tracking down fruit flies right out in the open. Their combination of scarcity, large size, and rock-solid hardiness makes them a franchise player for any collection.

The Performance Stats:

  • Prestigious Alpine Locale: A highly sought-after, distinct geographic strain with a stunning yellow-over-black-and-blue aesthetic.
  • Unrivaled Ground Visibility: A massive, stocky physical build that ensures you will never lose track of your star player in a dense jungle setup.
  • Rock-Solid Conditioning: Possesses the highly forgiving, adaptable, and robust nature that makes the tinctorius family legendary.

Important Product Note: Because live animals feature entirely unique, organic patterning, your frog's exact color splitting and leg spots will vary slightly from the stock images shown. Adult tinctorius can become highly territorial; we recommend housing them as single pairs. In alignment with responsible husbandry, do not mix different locales or morphs of dart frogs within the same enclosure.
