I just noticed, but one of the toes is sticking up, and it looks like a figure, but it's still alive.

MY GAY FROGS LUCIO AND ZEN

Blue Poison Dart Frog, I think.

Facts from Jungle Jewel Exotics: Like all tinctorius, the Azureus frogs are diurnal meaning they are awake during the day.  They are terrestrial and live in the understory of the rainforests they inhabit. In the wild they are constantly foraging for small insects, invertebrates and arthropods in the leaf litter. Some of the plants in the rainforests contain various alkaloids and toxins, the micro fauna eat these plants and in turn get eaten by the frogs.  This causes a downstream effect and these amazing frogs have evolved to harness the toxins as a means of self-defense. A combination of their striking colors and the toxins stored in their glands help ward off potential predators. In captivity the tinctorius do not contain any of these toxins due to the diet provided to them.

Do you know of any blue herps and/or birds with speckled or dotted patterns?

Blue herps and birds with dots.

Here are the first two that come to mind...

Blue Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) "azureus", family Dendorbatidae, found in Suriname

Once considered a distinct species, D. azureus, it is now generally considered to be a regional color morph of the Dyeing Poison Frog, D. tinctorius, though some herpetologists consider it to be subspecies.

There are also other populations of blue D. tinctorius, that some in the pet trade and zoos call “azureus”, as well.

Usually, D. tinctorius is yellow and blue, with black markings.

Dendrobates azureus, or South American blue poison dart frog, thrives in humid, lowland tropical forests, often near streams or small bodies of water. More frog information is available for free in the listing and you can just read it then navigate away if you are interested in wildlife.
