    I recently took this photo of my blue jeans strawberry poison dart frog and noticed this strange spot above its armpit. I just wondered if anyone knows what it is. Without sounding too hopeful, it's not young tadpoles?

    Vern,
    It looks some kind of gel. Egg gel?
    Do you have a piar? --- have they deposited eggs anywhere recently that you know of ?
    It doesn't look like the skin of the frog is involved.

    Have you had a problem with snails?

    Hey lynn, I do have a pair, but they have never bred before and I've never seen any eggs in their enclosure although it is pretty large and full of foliage. Ive never had a snail problem and have never even seen one in their vivarium.
