Golden poison frogs are the largest dendrobatids and unlike most other species of that family, their colouration is uniform — no spots, stripes or contrasting bands.

This large frog is green, sometimes with brown on the back, and dark dorsal spots of varying shapes and patterns. There are marked folds on both sides of the back.

There are more than 15 varieties of coloured frogs in this species. At the Biodôme, we have the green and black variety.

The adult male is metallic leaden blue with chestnut flanks. It can be identified by the white patch between the bill and eyes and the narrow white collar around the neck.
