Actually the correct answer appears to be the Amazon ground snake (Liophis epinephelus)...for one…

wearing rubber gloves. I’m not even kidding. I went poison dart frog hunting in the jungle. Slightly looped. I have pictures to prove it!

The only known predator of the world’s most poisonous frog (Phyllobates terribilis) is a snake, Liophis ( Leimadophis ) epinephelus. This snake is resistant to the frog’s poison but not immune.
