Vietnamese mossy frog (Theloderma corticale)

Reproduction and Development
Vietnamese mossy frogs breed in rock cavities where water has flooded the floor. A clutch of eight to ten eggs is deposited above the water to protect them from aquatic predators. The eggs hatch in seven to 14 days and the newly hatched tadpoles drop into the water directly below them. Metamorphosis from tadpole to frog takes about three months. This species has been bred in human care.
