Thread: Phyllomedusa sp. identification

    Default Phyllomedusa sp. identification

    Hi everyone,

    A few weeks ago I purchased a tiger leg monkey frog under the impression that it was the species Phyllomedusa tomopterna. It is doing fine in my viv but now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if it is Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis. Can anyone tell me how to tell which is which? Thanks!

    Yeah he's really skinny.. I'm keeping an eye on him. I'm pretty certain that he's wild caught

    I really hope it survives. To me it looks already a bit too skinny.
