Freshman's Glass Frog - Translucent "See-Through" Frog (Captive Bred)

The Freshman's Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium colymbiphyllum) is a true marvel of the natural world and a bucket-list species for many bioactive enthusiasts. Hailing from the humid cloud forests of Central and South America, these frogs are famous for their lime-green dorsal coloration and their incredible, translucent underbelly. This "glass" skin is so clear that you can actually observe their internal organs, including the beating heart and digestive system, making them one of the most unique display animals in the hobby.

Unlike the larger, more sedentary terrestrial frogs, Glass Frogs are delicate arboreal specialists. They spend their lives in the canopy, often near running water or waterfalls. They are best suited for advanced keepers who can maintain a high-humidity, vertically-oriented vivarium filled with broad-leafed plants like Bromeliads and Philodendrons. With their large, forward-facing golden eyes and tiny, slender bodies, they are as charming as they are scientifically fascinating. If you are looking to create a high-end, tropical slice of rainforest in your home, the Freshman's Glass Frog is a spectacular choice.
