Kalophrynus cf heterochirus
Small sized frogs, around 2.5 cm in size. Saw several of them, looks similar. All 4 pics are of different individuals, was told they are Sticky Frogs - Kalophrynus sp, but not sure of the exact species, possibly Kalophrynus heterochirus.
Tropical rain forest.
Endemic to the island of Borneo. The ID is not exact of Kalophrynus heterochirus, could be a local variation or it could possibly be a new species. Some of the Frogs were collected by the Frog Team during Mt. Lucia Expedition. Pic #1 of the Frogs on grass were not in their natural habitat but rather taken before release to the wild. Pics #2, #3 & #4 were taken in-situ in their wild/natural environment.

Yes, @Christine.
I added a 4th pic, where you can see some circular spots on the hind legs, adding more colours to them :D
They have very beautiful colors and texture. Nice!
