Dyeing Dart frogs are native to South America's tropical rainforests. This type of frog likes the ground and tends to stay there but you can find them on vines that hang close to the ground. Dyeing dart frogs are shy so you can usally find them under a log or around dead leaves.[[http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/showAnimals.asp?id=203]] You can also find them near water. Dyeing dart frogs like humid and usally wet habitats.[[http://cis127.info/~allbright/dangerous_frogs/black.html]] | Dyeing Dart frogs are native to South America's tropical rainforests.

Dyeing dart frogs have a toxic substance that there skin is able to secret. Although they secret it they don't actually make the toxin. The insects that they eat have the toxins in them so they gain the poison through what they eat. They are not born with the toxins instead they gain them as they grow older. They usally use this substance when predators threaten them. [[http://www.santabarbarazoo.org/showAnimals.asp?id=203]] | Dyeing dart frogs have a toxic substance that there skin is able to secret.
