Agalychnis callidryas
The red-eyed tree frog has red eyes with vertically narrowed pupils. It has a green body with yellow and blue vertically striped sides. Its webbed feet and toes are orange or red. The skin on the red-eyed tree frog's stomach is soft and fragile skin, whereas the back is thicker and rougher. This frog has three eyelids, and sticky pads on its toes. Red-eyed tree frogs are not poisonous and rely on camouflage to protect themselves. Nocturnal, they seem not too like much the light.

Thanks Searra! I would have shown the second one if it was not partially moved. The conditions were very little light and in the moment the frog was illuminated she covered herself and closed her eyes, as shown in the last pic. They are really sensitive to light, apparently.
