today's mimic: mimic poison frog, ranitomeya imitator
photo by john clare
the mimic poison frog, also known as the poison arrow frog or imitating poison frog, is notable for having many colour morphs that allow it to mimic multiple different species. the four different mimicking morphs are:
'varadero', which mimics the red-headed poison frog, ranitomeya fantastica
'striped', which mimics the lowland zimmerman's poison frog, ranitomeya variabilis
'spotted', which mimics the highland zimmerman's poison frog, ranitomeya variabilis
and 'banded', which mimics the summers' poison frog, ranitomeya summersi
the mimicry is used defensively, as this species, while toxic, is much less so than the species it mimics.

#pteryx pets#mr. mint#dart frog#ranitomeya vanzolinii#bioactive enclosure#reptile keeping#herps#he’s just so great#I figured out that he’ll accept hand feeding the other day! …for a given value of hand feeding#mostly I get a dwarf isopod or springtail on a skewer/tweezers and put it near him and he hops over and grabs it#still absolutely adorable#gonna see if I can catch him on camera eventually

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Though these frogs look very pretty, admirers must be very careful never to-- wait, no, false alarm! Ranitomeya imitator is better known as the mimic poison dart frog, due to its uncanny resemblence to its deadly relatives. The bright colors help keep predators away, and but their skin is only mildly toxic. R. imitator isn't the only species that's become a copy cat; a number of South American frogs have adopted this tactic with varying degrees of success.

Animal of the Day!
Summers’ Poison Frog (Ranitomeya summersi)
(Photo by Brad Wilson)
Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Central Peru
Size (Weight/Length)- 20 mm
Diet- Insects
Cool Facts- Found in only a single river in the Cordillera Azul National Park in Peru, the Summers’ poison frog is a beautiful fella. About as big as a fingernail, these frogs can spend their entire life in a small cluster of trees. During the mating season, the frogs put on a show with a unique song that sets them apart from the other poison frogs that live in the area. Their song is a soft buzzing noise that can only be heard from a meter away. That means for a male to have any chance at some loving, a female has to be within that one meter range to respond. The females then lay their eggs in tree hollows filled with rainwater. Unfortunately, Summers’ poison frogs are endangered from a mixture of habitat loss and the illegal pet trade.
Rating- 11/10 (A stripey son. A banded bro. A lined lad.)
