Skin is smooth, thick, and slightly waxy, ranging in colour from bright green to blue-green or soft teal depending on mood, lighting, and individual variation. Some frogs show light speckling or cream highlights along the flanks, while others are uniformly coloured. The body is rounded and heavy-set, with muscular limbs and large adhesive toe pads suited for climbing. Eyes are typically golden or bronze with horizontal pupils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"867\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"813\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"881\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, White’s Tree Frogs inhabit forests, woodland edges, riparian zones, rocky outcrops, and even human dwellings.
