    Default darts and toxicity

    If there were cause for concern on frogs you already have, you could use non-powdered gloves when caring for them or their enclosure.

    Default Re: darts and toxicity

    Truthfully also, the toxicity of most of these frogs is mild (unless you plan on eating them). I've worked with several species in the wild and suffered no ill effect. Unless you're eating them or have open cuts on your hands I wouldn't expect most (excluding some of the Phyllobates and maybe a few others) from being dangerously toxic.
