what is it?

Agalychnis callidryas , known as the red-eyed tree frog , is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. It is sometimes kept in captivity. The specific name of the red-eyed tree frog, A. callidryas , comes from Greek words kalos (beautiful) and dryas (a tree or wood nymph).
