Congrats again, Ismael! I have two of these as pets, but I bet seeing them in the wild couldn't even compare to seeing them in a tank in my room!

Ismael, congratulations on sharing 500 amazing spottings! This beauty has earned you Spotting of the Day! Though red-eyed tree frogs are not endangered, their habitat is shrinking at an alarming rate, and their image is often used to highlight the plight of the world's rain-forests.
