The Hotel has hosted a few different species of poison dart frog over the past eight or so years.  The current residents are dendrobates azureus, dendrobates leucomelas, and dendrobates tinctorius (powder blue morph).  All three of these species originate in the Guiana Shield, a region of northern South America that contains parts of Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.  For more information on the Guiana Shield, click on this Wikipedia article.
Dendrobates Azureus, also known as the "blue poison frog" is a fairly large frog, attaining a length of 1.5 inches at maturity.  The two that currently reside at the Hotel are females.  They are approximately 7 years old.
Dendrobates Tinctorius, also known as the "dying poison frog", is one of the largest of the poison dart frogs.  At maturity it can measure over 2 inches.  It is an aggressive species, particularly when there are two females fighting over the same male.  The Hotel currently plays host to one male and one suspected female, both of the "powder blue" morph.  Their ages are 7 years and 1 year, respectively
Dendrobates Leucomelas, or the "bumblebee dart frog" is an outgoing frog with an attractive bird-like call.  Two leucs (as they are referred to) reside at the Hotel.  They are both male, and their age is 2.5-3 years old.

The residents of the Killer Frog Hotel are poison dart frogs, small brightly-colored frogs whose skin exudes highly poisonous toxins.  These toxins have been used by certain South American tribes to poison the darts of their blowguns, hence the name "poison dart frog.".
