Female Dyeing dart frogs are attracted to a male by its call. Atfer hearing the males call the female follows him to the forest floor. The female lays 2-12 eggs. http://www.oaklandzoo.org/meet_the_animals/dyeing-poison-dart-frog]] The eggs are usally laid on leaves. After the eggs are layed the male fertilize them. After fertilization occurs the male takes care of the eggs by protecting them from predators. He watches them for 14-18 days untell they hatch. Once the tadpoles hatch they climb onto the male’s back where they are attached by a stickey mucus. Then they are taken to a body of water. The body of water is where they will live for over two months.

A female can lay a couple nests of eggs during the year.[[http://www.oaklandzoo.org/meet_the_animals/dyeing-poison-dart-frog]] | |||
