I've seen another one of these frogs recently inside the house - leaping quite a long distance from one wall to another... I was impressed! The sucker-pads of these 'spiderman'/ tree frogs are really effective!
Yes, he's giving us a good view of those 'suckers' on his feet, which is why, I guess, he's so brilliant at running vertically - like a Spiderman! :-)
