A little natural history
A substantial Mexican tree frog from seasonally dry lowland forest. Its climbing lifestyle and leaf-laid eggs make vertical structure important to understanding the species.

Choose a traceable captive-bred animal. Plan a species-specific enclosure, suitable live food and amphibian veterinary access before purchase; this profile is an introduction, not a complete care sheet.
Only consider legally obtained, captive-bred animals. Check permits and restrictions where you live, test the habitat first, and arrange an amphibian-experienced vet. This brief profile is not a complete husbandry sheet.
