Frog

Description:

Spotted, greens and browns large red eyes, 1 inch or 1inch and a half.

Notes:

It jump on my head when I open the front glass doors!!?? Of all the frogs I have ever handed, it was not the fastest but jump the longest, after a small chase I place it in the bromeliads, 2 meters from where It found me... that are full of water inside the leaves.

Sorry, BrendanSmith, I did not see your comment until today.
It does look a lot like a Scinax staufferi, Stauffer's Long-nosed Tree frog, I just can not edit, I do not know enough about frogs, could you comment?
Thank you for your ID help.

Great story! I'm pretty sure this is a Scinax staufferi. Lot of variations of color on these.

Thank you, Adarsha B S, great red eyes on this beauty!
