Sharp-Backed Monkey Frog

[Lars K]

I took some pics of my female Phyllomedusa vaillanti.

And when they sleep they look like an alien.

Is he sleeping in those last few photos?

What an amazing looking frog, I can certainly understand why some people have no interest in exotics

They can grip with their hands and feet as their thumbs and first toes are towards to their fingers/toes!

You can see it in the pics, note the first toe of the right foot!

Therefore they are called Monkey frogs!

And they have sticky toe pads!

You Germans are so lucky.

I really like that frog but have never seen one before, she looks amazing.

I love frogs, they always look so cute.

Where are those frogs from?

 

[Lars K]

Thank you very much guys!!!

Where are those frogs from?

They live in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru and Surinam.

But mine frogs are captive-bred and the wild caught ones are very sensitive.

No, it's so cold here and it's snowing at the moment!

 

[Joshua VW]

Well down here it's nice and warm at the moment.

I would say the one with access to every animal in the world

 

[Joshua VW]

I would say that too.
