Top quality in difficult circumstances! I've identified it as a Pasco Poison Frog. I assume this is a sub specie of it? Posted 12 years ago

  Your ID is right, this is the Pasco frog. Pasco means Peru so I translated that as well but it is the same. Posted 12 years ago

The Sira poison dart frog

''Ranitomeya sirensis'' is a species of poison dart frog endemic to Peru. ''R. sirensis'' is widely known as the Sira poison dart frog, or more popularly as ''R. lamasi''. ''R. sirensis'' is kept as a pet by herpetoculturists and is considered to be one of the more difficult poison dart frogs to keep due to its relative rarity and the delicate nature of its tadpoles.
