Waxy Monkey Tree Frog

Place of Origin and Range	Waxy Monkey Tree Frog is a hylid frog belonging to the subfamily of South and Central American leaf frogs, Phyllomedusinae, that inhabits the Chaco of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil.
Description	Large size, opposable thumb and forefinger, green to brown back, white belly often delineated by a thin black line. White fingers and toes, green toe pads, and black rings on the lower side, groin and rear of thighs.
Adult Size	Can grow up to 4.5 in(11 cm)
Accommodation	These frogs "prefer habitats with plentiful floating vegetation, grasses, and cattails" and are often found in "small ponds, large lakes, marshes, and streams also can be found at night in a backyard swimming pool. Unlike many amphibians, they do not require artificial heating. They need a large (at least ten-gallon) terrarium and do best with a substrate that will hold some humidity, such as commercial shredded bark or coconut husk bedding, or untreated topsoil on the floor of their terrarium. A shallow water dish should be included. Captive frogs should not be handled any more than necessary; when necessary, clean gloves should be worn. . A source of UV light is not required, and ambient temperature of 72 to 77 °F (22 to 25 °C) is sufficient.
Lifespan	Can live 5+ years
Feeding / Diet	These frogs are insectivores, usually consuming flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects such as crickets. One study suggested the frog selects prey not by its size, but according to its activity level, with the most active prey being the most frequently eaten.
Breeding	It does not need to return to the ground during the mating season; rather, it lays its eggs down the middle of a leaf before folding the leaf, sandwiching the eggs inside. Its nest is attached to a branch suspended over a stream, so the hatching tadpoles drop into the water.
