This is an update on my tree frogs and their habitat. Been working on the frog tank bit by bit and my new frog has begun to settle in. These two guys are so cute, that’s right they are both boys! lol The fish you may see swimming are the two ‘baby’ guppies, doing very fine (less){The Red-eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests. | The Red-eyed Tree Frog is a small-sized tree frog, reaching lengths of about 7 centimeters (3 inches). | Its dorsal surface is green of varying shades, and its ventral surface is white. | The sides of the frog are purple or blue, with vertical white stripes and orange toes. | Both, females and males, have bulging orangey red eyes with vertically narrowed pupils resemble the eyes of domestic cats. | Red-eyed tree frogs have soft, fragile skin on their belly, and the skin on their back is thicker and rougher. | Bright markings along the sides and limbs reduces predation. | Most animals that prey on Agalychnis callidryas (some bats, snakes, and birds) often rely on their vision. | When the frog moves to avoid the predator the bright colorations flash into view (hence their name, flash colors) and throw off the predator. | This is achieved by leaving a ghost image in the visual field of where the frog was originally. | This confuses the predator and gives the frog time to hide. | These flash colors may also deceive predators by making the frog appear poisonous. | Red-eyed tree frogs are not poisonous and rely on camouflage to protect them. | During the day, they remain motionless, cover their blue sides with their back legs, tuck their bright feet under their belly, and shut their red eyes. | Thus, they appear almost completely green, and well hidden among the foliage. | Their eyes seem to glow in the dark. | Red-eyed tree frogs inhabit lowland rain forests from southern Mexico, through Central America, to Northern Colombia. | They are often found near rivers or ponds. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||}
