This is my new Red-Eyed Tree Frog vivarium, this video is of the completed vivarium with the frogs inside. please comment and view my other videos, if you would like to know how i made this vivarium please watch my tutorial.{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. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||}
