BLACK EYED TREE FROG

However some frogs, including black-eyed tree frogs have a special skin pigment that allows them to reflect UV light at the same level as the leaves, making them even more difficult to distinguish.

The other benefit of this skin pigment is that it allows then to sit on top of leaves without getting too hot or burnt – it’s like having built in factor50.

The Blacked Eyed Tree Frog is the less popular cousin of the Red Eyed Tree Frog.

Like the Red Eyed Tree Frog, they are nocturnal, spending the day hiding on leaves off trees.
The frogs can be found in the pet trade but most of them are wild caught.
