Putting the best foot forward
First time using flash! --- is it too bright?
The red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) is native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. It is sometimes kept in captivity. As is this one, but I was reassured that the flash lights did it no harm. This one was tiny - about 4cm! The specific name of the red-eyed tree frog, A. callidryas, comes from Greek words kallos (beautiful) and dryas (a tree or wood nymph).
During the day, they remain motionless, cover their blue sides with their back legs, tuck their bright feet under their bellies, and shut their red eyes. Thus, they appear almost completely green, and well hidden among the foliage.
