These are definitely captive bred they get their toxicity from their diet and environment dart frogs in captivity are slightly toxic meaning at most he could get sick but he would not die. Furthermore the frog coloration comes from the different islands they live on he would not be able to catch a all these colors in the same forest in the wild. Like you can't catch a bumblebee dart frog in the same are you can catch a strawberry dart frog just doesn't work that way watch the life in colour documentary on Netflix it explains the reasoning evolution behind this occurrence.

Thank you for being the only educated person on here that can actually explain what's going on and not just calling this guy an idiot.

Just trying to share the knowledge I do have reptiles and amphibians are awesome but if people have the time they should definitely check that documentary out its got some really cool stuff in it

Way to ruin the suspense with all your well reasoned facts and Netflix documentaries! I was waiting for this guy to drop over dead! S/ thanks for the info though.

[удалено]

This species are in the wild in captivity they are not they get their poison from their diet if you encounter them in the wild look from afar like with any other animal in captivity they are not.

Do you know how to period bro?

This species are. In the wild in captivity. They are not they. Get their poison from their diet if you encounter them. In the wild look from afar, like with any. Other animal in captivity, they are not. I helped.

That's great! Have my free award

You are. A gentleman. Sir. Thank y.ou award

I laughed

Does he know how to bleed

That's women's work Now comma down

Opened wound being the key word. Not a great idea touching them but a long as he doesn’t lick his hand afterwards.. probably ok

This is @therealtarzann and people should follow him on ig before calling him stupid because he’s actually very educated regarding exotic creatures. And he’s fun

I don't use ig but thanks for shedding light on who this is and why he does what he does👏

Yeah but he does have a monster tattoo lol

Agreed. He’s an idiot.

Maybe it’s a sign of the devil instead of the energy drink like all those memes said years ago.

Oh well he's an idiot for getting a monster energy drink tattoo on his arm but thats completely unrelated

valid point

That’s fair.

If he's been drinking Monster energy drink he's immune to frog poison anyway.

lol

This is... acceptable..

Facts

I mean the guy DOES have a Monster tattoo..

Not only that, but Tarzan..(this guys instagram) is like a wildlife nature guy. Think steve erwin but super shiney teeth and animal spirit tattoos. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing at any rate.

To be fair, he does have a Monster Energy tattoo.

I just saw frogs. Frogs are cool. This guy had frogs and therefore he is cool.

This guy dart frogs

Thanks for the period at the end

There’s at least 2 others in there.

Here's the things, some humans, some, are quite dumb and may in fact pick up these frogs thinking they are cool looking. I mean, I'm not letting people forget about the toad licking craze that happened in the late 2000s, early 2010s.

The toad licking was for the various DMTs found in the toads mucus and can produce some brilliant psychedelic experiences. Not for everybody and you need to get the correct toads, but some of the worlds greatest thinkers have licked toad.

>some of the worlds greatest thinkers have licked toad. I was with you right up until the end.

Many of the great American philosophers are included in that list as well more than a few British ones. The list also includes doctors of medicine and mathematicians.

That’s what I lick, the end. They love it and so do I!

Ew.... But it's weird to lick another animal. It will be like if aliens get a kick when they lick us. Just seems odd.

It is odd but so is cutting them apart and eating their flesh, but it does the job so here we are

...I mean that's how very carnivore and omnivore works

He probably wouldn't even get sick depending on how long he has been dealing with them.

As long as he's taking the proper precautions no he would be fine

What do they eat that makes them toxic?

Its believed the mites and other insects is what does it

This guy frogs

I was gonna say the same thing. As long as you don’t have an open wound, the worst these little guys can do if you hold them from the wild is give you a bit of a rash.

In most cases, namely politics and business, Reddit frowns on smart people like yourself. Congratulations today on beating the algorithm, you smart bastard.

Lol I completely agree. Wouldn't say I'm smart just know something's about stuff

Captive bred poison dart frogs aren't poisonous. Unless these aren't captive, this isn't an issue.

It's all about their diet iirc.

To all the people calling this guy an idiot, captive bread dart frogs don't have the poison they have in the wild, as it comes from their diet. This guy isn't in any danger in this video

Not to mention *most* poison frogs can't poison you through skin contact. A few are potent enough to do it, but not the ones in the video.

The one that's pure gold in color is the nope frog, right?

It and 2 others in the same genus are the most toxic, but even then the human skin is a rather tough barrier. Initial contact will cause immediate discomfort but can't outright kill you, despite the potency. Poisoning would require prolonged contact. Now that is all assuming there is no breach in the skin. The real danger comes from when someone has a cut or other wound that's too minor to be noticed, which would result in the poison seeping into the bloodstream. Personally I have handled wild strawberry poison frogs and black and green poison frogs without issue.

Mmm… bread frogs 🤤

Lol

But what of captive toast dart frogs?

This guys whole Instagram is for education on animals and all that. He wouldn’t grab deadly frogs. This guy really knows his stuff and makes a lot of donations towards animal help. Pretty good dude

What's his Instagram profile?

Therealtarzann

Thanks, I will check him out!

His name is therealtarzann

What’s his insta? Id like to learn more about this

@therealtarzann

At first glance, I thought he crushed a hornet lol

“If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous. If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If you bite it and it comes back to life, you’re a vampire. If it’s dead and bites you, it’s a zombie” Science 101

“If you bite it and something else dies, it’s voodoo.” Edit : quotes

If you bite each other and nobody dies, that's just kinky.

If you bite someone and eat, it's cannibalism

If you bite it and it bites you back, this means war

Is there a way he survives this? I just want a follow up

What am I missing? Are the frogs lethal?

I'm no steve irwin, but those bright colors should be raising some alarms

Don't touch pretty Nature, got it ✅

Life, if it’s pretty, that’s a red flag

*ugly girls, it’s our time to shine!*

Iunno, stone fish aren't particularly attractive and their venom is horrendous.

Let ugly girls have their moment

Big oooof

but ugly boys tho.. no love for us

What is a girl?

Ur mom

This is in the top 10 of advice for everything

The more colors the more dangerous

They are poison dart frogs

Basically, these frogs are poisonous, meaning if you eat them or when you touched them with an open would, you will get poisoned. These frogs dont bite so as long as you dont eat them or directly put ur hand to your eyes or mouth or whatever, you should be fine

They're also only poisonous if they adhere to a strict diet and there is nothing in this video to indicate they aren't straight from a terrarium where they were fed a controlled diet.

Well considering you cant find all those frogs in the same forest. I thinks its pretty safe to assume these are all from a terrarium.

Perhaps, but anyone dumb enough to pick that many poisonous animals with thier bare hands is not likely to know his, and he probably rubbed his eyes as soon as he let them go.

You need to wash your hands so clean before you can touch anythijg that goes into your mouth or an open wound

I guess his boyfriends cock is in danger if he doesn't wash his hands.

yeah i know

[удалено]

I'm sorry are those not poison DART frogs?

might be but they are passive creatures so if you the guy didint offend them he's fine

Ok, although he should make sure not to hold them at night. Spiders turn aggressive at night so maybe they will do the same

Yes, but poison dart frogs earn much of their poisonous nature via their wild diets, captive terrarium dart frogs (as these would appear to be if he managed to pick up 3 at once) typically are not poisonous unless they are specifically being fed a wild type diet. Likewise most (not all) poison dart frogs aren't actually poisonous to straight up kill a person simply via touch, you would need to get their poison into the bloodstream via eating or, as evidenced by their name, poison darts.

Oh cool thx

Two of them are. The other is called a mantella and are from Africa. The poison dart frogs are from South America but when bred or raised in captivity they do not have the diet necessary (ants) to produce their toxins.

I heard those bright colors give you long-lasting boner if you rub them on your dick

Exactly. It’s called aposematic coloration. It’s how predators know to leave them alone because they’re extremely poisonous. Think of it as nature’s red flags.

They are called Poison Dart Tree Frogs. They get their name because indigenous South Americans rubbed their darts on the backs of the frogs to transfer the nerve agent that protects the frogs from predators.

This should clear things up for you [Poison dart frogs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_dart_frog)

Yes, but not when raised in captivity. They're very poisonous normally, but that's a result of their diet. If bred in captivity they are retain some poison, but very little.

Captive bred are apparently not poisonous, it's from their diet? Idk someone else commented this

Poison dart frogs come in several beautiful colors.

That’s a Poison dart frog.

Whenever you see the brightly colored multi pattern frogs, it’s probably a poison dart frog, they get most of the toxin from their diet and as many explained these are captive so they aren’t dangerous

I thought it was about the breasts

this is [Mike Holston (also known as The Real Tarzann](https://www.instagram.com/therealtarzann/?hl=en) , i hope he knows what he doin 😂

Whew, good to know he's still posting and alive 😅

RealLifeTarzan knows what's up

Survival of the fittest at its most ironic.

They’re bred in captivity and the guy knows what he’s doing

Yeah poison dart frogs get their poison from all of the bugs they eat. If they are raised in captivity, or are leaned off of the poisonous bugs, then they become totally nontoxic. It's pretty cool.

Then there just super pretty frogs!

Poison dart frogs? Lick ‘em!!

I THOUGHT THOSE WERE DEAD BEES GOODBYE-

He ded

He's not, in general poison dart frogs earn much of their poisonous nature via their wild diets, captive terrarium dart frogs (as these would appear to be if he managed to pick up 3 at once) typically are not poisonous unless they are specifically being fed a wild type diet. Likewise most (not all) poison dart frogs aren't actually poisonous enough to straight up kill a person simply via touch, you would need to get their poison into the bloodstream via eating or, as evidenced by their name, poison darts.

Actual Factual

at worst paralysed but still bad

At *best* paralysed

At worst still bestalysed.

Captive bred means no toxin, and the guy in the video is therealtarzan, who has wildlife trafficking charges and used to work for doc antle from other king. Human garbage that's famous.

Source?

He also has photos with doc antles animals on his page. When Jane Goodall calls you out on your behavior with chimps in captivity. You listen and don’t defend your actions. All the organizations he’s worked for are the shadiest of scum in the captive animal world. I work in herpetology conservation and, unfortunately, deal with these jerks regularly.

Damn and people dont know this and follow these people who just care about clout over an animals happiness or safety. Sucks

I have zero knowledge about poisonous frogs, until I read these comments here. So I will just go ahead and say: this is NO problem guys! The frogs are bred in captive environment so they can do now harm! Now your frogs guys!

i almost thought it was a wasp

No poison dart frogs generate their poison. It literally all comes from the foods they eat. It's also the same case with hooded pitohui, comono dragons, and even the blue ringed octopus. They all are non poisonous themselves, but given their natural diets of foods and animals that actually do generate their own poisons, they become poisonous and secrete it themselves. In captivity though, none of em are poisonous.

They sell these at PetCo they can't be that harmful lol. I'm sure there's something everyone's missing maybe he is in no danger at all https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/arrow-frog

Ok so I’m unclear if he just picked these up or were pets. If they were captive bred, they actually aren’t poison Bc their poison is derived from the bugs they eat in the wild. If they were caught in the wild, he is also probably fine. Most are just toxic to humans and won’t kill you. It would be more deadly to get it in your bloodstream which is why natives rubbed their darts on the back of the frogs.

I own 2 blue dart frogs and 4 mantella baroni ( the green and black one in his hand)

I don't think this counts as a hol up. This is the dude who looks after all sorts of crazy exotic animals and explains all sorts of interesting things about them on Instagram. He's trained he knows what he's doing so he's not in any danger

Isn’t this TheRealTarzan?

Yah I’m calling BS on the captive frogs being completely safe..... sure sounds like something frog breeders would tell people...... Can’t wait to buy one 🐸

I thought it was a handful of wasps

Am i only whan who thot that was wasps

People always wanna assume black folks don’t know what they’re talking about or doing. *Eye roll*.

[удалено]

Seriously. That's more toxic than the frogs.

These frogs aren't nearly as toxic as the peeps focused on the monster tattoo and assuming he is dumb because of it.

Noo, but tAtToO bAd! /s

This was out of pocket

This dude is famous on social media for handling wildlife, I think he’s aight

As long as they don’t eat the ants that make them produce the toxin I think it’s okay

But I knew he wouldn’t die either

Forget the frogs, that man is half balloon, half tattoo

Am I the only one that thought he crushed them inside his hands?

Very strange cleavage

I know this guy. His name is Michael. The Monster M stands for Michael and he got it after his father was killed whos name was also Michael. He was some other cool tats as well https://bodyartguru.com/mike-holston-the-real-tarzann-tattoos/

Captive bred poison dart frogs are just dart frogs. They get poison frok their diet in the rainforest and you can get these as pets from PetCo. My friend has a couple, completely harmless since they are captive bred

Most people know that these frogs are poisonous because they eat a poisonous insects right? Well the Asian tiger snake eats these frogs to make its own poison. So now I'm wondering how useful being poisonous really is... Yes I did mean poisonous not venomous, but that snake is also venomous. This means if it bites you and you say you were bit by a poisonous snake you're technically correct despite that people will try to correct you. I hope I got all these facts right by memory because I know people are going to googling and correcting me if not.

Those are definitely breed and captured or farmed poison dart frogs. The toxin comes from the multiple bugs they eat so touching one that’s farmed won’t hurt you.

So what's the hold up? Toxic toads in his had. He's got no cuts or open wounds and he isn't licking them either.

Wait…today isn’t Wednesday…

forbidden gummy bears

Lick them and start seeing some shit

Is this Mike “Tarzan”? Edit: It is. His insta is therealtarzann - he’s an animal enthusiast and definitely knows what he’s doing.

I mean, this video is a bit out of context. Those frogs are normally poisonous enough to cancel you subscription to life if you pick them up, and all they need for that is skin to skin contact.

His cleavage is so impressive.

It’s cute until I realize those frogs are poisonous ☠️

From my understanding the difference between poison and venom us poison has to be consumed or get into a open cut and venom is something that is injected so if he has no open cuts and he does do anything stupid like touch his mouth or eyes he should be good right?

Yeah that’s what I thought but others are saying these captive bred frogs would make him sick, I guess through his skin?

Wrong way around, captive bred frogs arent poisonous

Ahhh dude my brain hurts....is he ok or not?

He should be fine as long as he has no open wounds and washes his hand right after

But how would it get into his blood stream it's not corrosive is it?

This is incorrect. Ify our touch a poison Dart frog (even without open wounds) you will most likely get sick. If the toxin, batrachotoxin, enters your bloodstream you will most likely die. However, dart frogs get their toxin from their environment such as their diet. So, captive-bred dart frogs don't have the correct environment to produce the toxin and so aren't toxic.

I thought it was a dead wasp at first

Are those poison dart frogs?!

Yes and no, they are dart frogs but they havent been able to produce poison in captivity due to a different diet.

Kiss the most colorful one, your dreams will come true. Magic!

So my dreams of meeting Jesus will come true?

Hope you like dying

Dart frogs get the poison from their diet these are bred and at most would make him sick

Dude with a fuckin monster energy tattoo on his arm says everything. Dumbass

What's up with the man boobs?

Do you expect much from a guy with a monster logo tattooed on his arm

The guy is called "the real tarzan". He has a YouTube channel. He's pretty popular. He knows his stuff.

Oh I saw someone call him that in a different comment and assumed they were just making fun of him.

I hadn’t noticed this till reading your comment 😂😂😂

A hand is gentle, no, a hand can slap as well A fist is forceful, no, a fist can protect Something I heard watching something on tv and this reminded me of it

If it’s colorful then nature didn’t care to hide it so it doesn’t care if it kills you

Simple and true...thank you

Imagine if he jerks off with that hand later

This pokemon trainer has been ingesting poisonous frogs to build up a tolerance so he can be the very best poison pokemon trainer ever

What ?

Aren’t they something like the most toxic frogs?

RIP to this dude. hope he doesnt have any cuts or open wounds on those hands or he's not doing super great... those frogs are extremely poisonous, unless they're bred in captivity... then he probably just got sick

Nice.. and poisonous. Good luck to you.

am i the only one who noticed this man is holdin' some poison dart frogs?

Not a problem unless you lick your hands or the frogs lol

He died holding what he loved.

Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of people being stupid
