Description

Males measure 17–21 mm (0.67–0.83 in) and females 20–23 mm (0.79–0.91 in) in snout–vent length. Dorsum colouration varies from greenish to pale and dark brown, spotted with dark brown. They have an oblique lateral stripe that extends to the eye. There are white spots on the throat and abdomen.[3][4]

Habitat and conservation

Its natural habitats are humid premontane forests, tropical thickets and thorny scrubs, and very dry tropical forests. It is a common species but its abundance has been declining. It is threatened by habitat loss from agricultural development, logging, and new wood plantations.[1]

gollark: I'm not certain, but I think that's significantly more expensive than one with the same specs built yourself.
gollark: <@336962240848855040> I think QEMU can do that.
gollark: Can someone help with this really weird issue? I have a websocket-using thing (https://osmarks.tk/incdec/) which seemingly can't connect to the backend websocket (wss://osmarks.tk/incdec/api) in Firefox on my phone and laptop, even though it works fine when I test it with `wscat` and the Node.js `ws` thing. It worked fine up until quite recently.
gollark: You can also just use... steganography or something, I think that's the right term... to store your encrypted data in images.
gollark: I meant just put it in a savings account or something. But interest rates are not very good right now...
