It’s scientific name is Agalychnis callidryas, which literally translates into (aga) plenty of (lychnos) shining (kallos) beautiful (dryas) tree nymph. This refers to their sparkling eyes, beautiful appearance, and arboreal habits. The Red-Eyed tree frog is also known as the Red-Eyed leaf frog.
Size: At the time of sale, captive bred Red-Eyed tree frogs from Josh’s Frogs will measure between 1 1/4" to 2". After about 10 months they will be nearly adult size, with males measuring about 2 1/2″ and females another inch larger than the males.
Age: With proper care, Red-Eyed tree frogs can live up to and over 5 years. Reports of 8-10 year old animals abound, and many hobbyists routinely keep Red-Eyed tree frogs for 4-5 years. All Red-Eyed tree frog froglets sold by Josh's Frogs are 8-10 weeks old.
