Smoky Mountain Jungle Frog
| Place of Origin and Range | It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, and Peru. |
| Description | The body is robust; the head is large with an acutely rounded snout and prominent tympanum. The skin on the dorsum and venter is smooth, and a prominent dorsolateral dermal fold extends from the orbit to the groin. The fingers and toes are long with slender tips and lack webbing. Breeding males have greatly swollen forelimbs and one large, pointed, black spine on the inner surface of the thumb and two black spines on each side of the chest. The dorsum is tan to reddish brown with broad, reddish brown marks on the body between the yellowish tan dorsolateral folds. The dorsal surfaces of the limbs are tan to reddish brown with narrow transverse brown bars. The upper lip is tan with a brown margin and dark brown triangular spots. The venter is cream with bold dark brown to black mottling, especially on the belly and hind limbs. The iris is bronze. |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 6.9 in(17.6 cm) |
| Accommodation | A terrarium with non-aromatic substrate and a water dish large enough for your frog to sit in should suffice. Try and keep a basking spot 25 C or 77 F, warmer than the rest of the cage. |
| Lifespan | Can live 10+ years |
| Feeding / Diet | Though generally inactive, they are aggressive eaters, and are capable of leaping for several body lengths in order to capture prey. These toads eat insects, worms, minnows and goldfish, but will learn to accept pieces of floating Koi chow. Dust insects with a calcium D3 supplement before feeding once a week. |
