Appearance
Blue-sided tree frog is a medium-sized frog with a slim body and smooth, vibrant skin. Its luminous coloration ranges from emerald green to turquoise, often displaying a speckled black pattern. The frog possesses large, round eyes which feature pronounced yellow-to-orange irises, contributing to its distinctive look.
