The red-headed poison frog (Ranitomeya fantastica) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to Peru and found in the northern San Martín and Loreto Regions.[1][3]
Its natural habitats are primary and older secondary growth wet forests. The species uses phytotelmata for breeding, which must be present in its habitat. Females lay 2–6 eggs which male then guards.[1]
The species is threatened by collection for international pet trade as well as habitat loss.[1]

Ranitomeya summersi, sometimes referred to as Summers' poison frog,[1] is a species of poison dart frogs found in the central Huallaga River drainage and adjacent Cordillera Azul National Park in central Peru.[1][3] Before 2008, the species was considered a subspecies of Ranitomeya fantastica.[2] The IUCN considers it an endangered species because of limited habitat range, habitat loss, and collection for the pet trade.[1][4][5]
They lay their eggs primarily in Dieffenbachia plants and in holes in trees.[4]
