Are you looking for an active and athletic amphibian? We have the amazing golden tree frog for sale at affordable price. This tree frog is also known as the “Asian Flying Frog.” It is famous for its ability to jump huge distances.

The Golden Flying Tree Frog (Polypedates leucomystax, formerly known as Rhacophorus leucomytax) is a visually appealing nocturnal amphibian native to the tropical regions of Asia. People also refer to it as the Gold Frog, the Asian Flying Frog, the Banana Tree Frog, the Common Tree Frog, among other names. These names are inspired by its typically rich golden hue and its remarkable ability to leap over considerable distances.

Their hind legs are incredibly strong, allowing them to leap distances of six feet or more. In their natural habitat, they appear to fly between trees or glide. However, it is their strong back legs that push them forward quickly. This ability lets them move through the forest canopy. They can go from treetop to treetop without facing dangers on the forest floor.
