Tyler's tree frog ventral NB. not captive....a night time visitor to the house, indeed a high-up second floor window. These frogs are well used to climbing and in fact do not like water that much. It is native to eastern Australia, occurring from southeast Queensland to the south coast of New South Wales. It is generally a coastal species and is not found inland.<br />

This was 4 cm from tip of snout to rear end, so not fully grown. I was able to stand on a chair and get a look at the eyes to confirm identification - similar looking Tyler&#039;s and Peron&#039;s have pupils which appear cross-shaped which this frog had, but Tyler&#039;s frogs do not have the strong black and yellow marbling on the inside of the legs and armpits and has only faint yellow/orange/brown marbling as seen here.

  2. Not just a great photos, also a valuable perspective. In Colombia I learned from some "herpers" that one should always try to photograph the belly, as its an important way to tell apart a lot of species. Posted 2 years ago
    1. Yes, I'd hoped that despite not being able to get at the dorsal, it would be of at least some benefit. That's great, thanks Ferdy. Posted 2 years ago
