True. Dart and posion arrow frogs are only poisonous in the wild. They get their poison from certain foods they eat in the wild which isn't available in captivity. Certain ants or other insects they eat in the wild is what gives them their poisonous skin, not actual venom glands.

Keep in mind that they are still a little bit toxic, as are most (if not all) frogs. So if your 3 year old likes to lick things, or your kitty has a taste for frogs legs...maybe a frog wouldnt be the best idea 
..but if you just want to be able to occasionaly touch it without becoming dead or seriously sick... you're all clear
