Males are smaller (24–39 mm (0.94–1.54 in) in snout–vent length) than females (37–49 mm (1.5–1.9 in)) and have longer hind limbs. Colouration is variable but ranges from gray-tan to yellow-brown through darker browns to reddish brown or black. The dorsum has black flecks; the skin has low, flat warts. Tympanum is distinct.[5]

gollark: <@301092081827577866> No, they stop at yields, which many functions do.
gollark: If you use parallel, then it basically runs the functions you pass it, feeding both of them the events the computer provides.
gollark: Well, it does, when it crashes with too long without yield.
gollark: Someone else can probably explain better than I. I mostly just muddle my way around coroutines.
gollark: sleep was not messing it up - it expected coroutine.yield to pass it events. The fault is your own.
