Description
The Amazon Milk Frog (Trachycephalus resinifictrix), also known as the Blue Milk Frog or Mission Golden-Eyed Tree Frog, is one of the most beautiful and charismatic amphibians available in the hobby.
Native to the tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin, this species displays striking blue-grey coloration, bold dark bands, and a smooth, waxy skin that secretes a harmless, milky substance when stressed — giving the species its name.
