    I dont know much about his, but I would say Dart Frogs might be a good choice for if you want poisoness. That is really the closest you can get by my standards.

    Dart frogs aren't poisonous in captivity, nor are they tree frogs. They get their poison from mites that they eat in the wild, which they don't get in captivity. Wild caught dart frogs eventually loose their toxicity.

    Why do you want to know about poisonous tree frogs?
