Yes i have to agree that is a F.limnocharis. i breed a lot of those for my frog-eating snakes

Thanks for that confirmation. Quite variable frogs, the F. limnocharis. The vast majority here in Taiwan have the central stripe.

The barred markings on their mouth are a signature for that species. The males tend to have red eyelids during breeding season too. Really neat.

Taiwan has a lot of pretty colored snakes for such a small area, i hate them LOL

I did not know that. I'll keep a lookout for the red eyelids!

Sixty-odd snakes on the island, as far as I know ... not many of which I've seen. I think I need to make more of an effort to spot snakes this year. Short of venturing to the south of the island, I've seen most of the frogs that reside up here in the north, but there are abundant species of snake for me to seek out.
