Name: The genus Phyllomedusa is commonly known as the Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs, notable for their wax secreting glands on their back elbows and rump. This wax is secreted then rubbed all over the body, sealing in moisture and allowing these tree frogs to take advantage of drier conditions than other amphibians. Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis is commonly known in the US hobby as the Tiger Leg Monkey Frog, because it has notable orange and black banding on it's sides. Due to this coloration, the frog is sometimes called the "Barred Tree Frog". The moniker 'monkey frog' comes from this frog's tendency to walk instead of jump, which closely resembles a monkey.

Color/Pattern: Tiger Leg Monkey Frogs are a pleasant green coloration with a cream colored underside. The most notable coloration present on these animals is a characteristic orange and black banding on their sides, running from their front legs to their back legs. The green coloration can appear brown, and sometimes even bluish, in the right conditions.

Size: Adult female Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis frogs are larger, measuring in at approximately 2.5 inches. Male Tiger leg Tree Frogs are a bit smaller, averaging about 1.75-2 inches at maturity. All of the Tiger Leg Monkey Frogs Josh's Frogs sells are well started juveniles, and measure approximately 3/4”-1" long.

Age: These frogs are capable of living over 10 years in captivity under ideal conditions, although a lifespan of 4-5 years is more common. All tree frogs for sale at Josh's Frogs are well started juveniles.
