These frogs possess an extremely effective skin toxin that is very sensitive and protects the skin from infection. It also protects them against predators. This also contributes to their eye-catching "warning colouration". The glaring colouring acts as a warning against the inedible, poisonous frogs.
The Yellow-banded Poison Dart Frogs populate mainly smaller forest islands in the grasslands. Unlike their relatives, Yellow-banded Poison Dart Frogs are able to survive extreme drought periods by hibernating in summer. They usually retreat into a burrow.
