Oophaga histrionica "Bahia Solano" (Harlequin Poison Dart Frog)

Bring the crown jewel of the Colombian rainforest into your bio-active vivarium. The Oophaga histrionica "Bahia Solano" is an absolute showstopper, renowned among advanced amphibian hobbyists for its striking, high-contrast patterns and captivatingly bold personality. Originating from the lush, hyper-humid lowlands of Chocó, Colombia, this specific "Bahia Solano" morph boasts an incredible display of vibrant orange or yellow spotting set against a deep, ink-black backdrop.
