The Golden Mantella
Description:
Mantella's come from only Madagascar. The golden mantella is bright yellow to orange and is the size of a quarter ( About 2.5 cm). The golden mantella is not toxic but is colored as though it is. Unlike most amphibians mantella's lack webbed feet.
Habitat:
So the best enclosure for a couple of these frogs would be in a 15 gallon aquarium with a tons of plants and a shallow water dish. Keep the temperature at around 75-78 degrees during the day and at night around 70-74 degrees. The enclosure has to be very moist and humid. Moss is the best substrate to use. Always keep the moss damp.
Diet:
The golden mantella eats fruit flies, ant, tiny crickets, termites and aphids. Dust the insects once a week. Breeding crickets before you get your mantella is a very good idea.
