newsflash: Poison dart frogs by themselves are not venomous. The venomous toxin that they secrete from their skin comes from their diet. in their natural habitat, they eat venomous ants in great quantities. the venom builds up in their metabolism and then gets secreted through their skin. There are quite a few people around the world that like to keep Poison Dart frogs as pets. In these cases, they are completely harmless, as they are not eating the venomous ants while in captivity. I actually knew a guy who was really into dart frogs and even got into breeding them. They are very colorful and make some cool noises. Not for me personally, but he was really into them.
