## Basic Information
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Species | Amphibian |
| Origin | Central America |
| Size Category | Tiny |
| Scientific Name | Agalychnis callidryas |
| Husbandry Difficulty | Intermediate |

## Vital Statistics
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Weight Range | 0.006–0.015 kg |
| Lifespan | 5–8 years |
| Puppy/Kitten Stage Ends | 6 months |
| Senior Age Threshold | 5 years |

## Puppy/Kitten Development
- **Neonatal Weight**: 0.1–0.2 g
- **Growth Notes**: Tadpole stage 45-90 days; froglet to adult 6-12 months; sexually mature at 1-2 years
- **Vaccine Schedule**: No vaccines; quarantine; maintain pristine water quality

## Adult Preventive Care
- **Exercise Needs**: Moderate - nocturnal arboreal; needs vertical climbing space
- **Grooming**: None - maintain humidity and clean water
- **Annual Exam Focus**: Skin condition, eye clarity, weight, fecal parasites
- **Routine Care**: Maintain 75-82°F day, 68-75°F night; 80-100% humidity; mist 2-3x daily; feed nightly

## Health Predispositions
| Condition | Onset Stage | Risk | Hereditary | Screening |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dehydration | adult | high | No | No |
| Bacterial Skin Infections | adult | high | No | No |
| Metabolic Bone Disease | juvenile | medium | No | No |
| Chytridiomycosis | adult | medium | No | Yes |
| Intestinal Parasites | adult | medium | No | Yes |

## Obesity Management
- **Risk Level**: Low
- **Ideal BCS**: 3/9
- **Visual Cues**: Lean body; limbs clearly defined; no excessive fat deposits
- **Daily Activity Target**: 20 minutes
- **Caloric Formula**: Small crickets and fruit flies nightly; 3-5 items per feeding

## Breeding & Genetics
- **Litter Size**: 20–50
- **Dystocia Risk**: Low
- **CHIC Required Tests**: N/A
- **Recommended DNA Tests**: N/A

## Behavioral Ethogram
- **Locomotion**: Climbing, jumping between leaves, walking on branches; nocturnal activity
- **Social**: Can cohabitate in groups; males call competitively; minimal aggression
- **Comfort**: Sleeping on broad leaves during day (tucked posture hiding colors), active climbing at night
- **Stress/Displacement**: Color fading, excessive hiding, refusing food, erratic jumping, skin lesions
- **Breed-Specific**: Iconic display species; flash coloration (startle defense); nocturnal; humidity-dependent; delicate but rewarding

## Vocalization Baseline
- **Types**: Male advertisement calls (chack-chack), distress calls, vibration signaling
- **Frequency Range**: 1,000-4,000 Hz
- **Tendency**: Medium
- **Primary Modality**: Visual (flash coloration defense), vocal (males), vibration (branch shaking)
- **Tail Signals**: No tail; flash coloration of eyes/flanks/feet used as startle defense

## Emotional Wellbeing
- **Anxiety Proneness**: Low
- **Top Triggers**: Low humidity, excessive handling, bright lights during sleep, temperature extremes
- **Separation Anxiety Risk**: None
- **Calming Interventions**: High humidity, dense foliage cover, consistent day/night cycle, minimal disturbance
- **Cognitive Dysfunction Risk**: Very Low

## Behavior Problems (Six-Etiology Classification)
- **Top Problems**: Escape attempts if humidity too low, nocturnal noise from males, stress from handling
- **Medical Etiology**: Lethargy from dehydration; skin shedding issues; weak limbs from MBD
- **Fear/Anxiety Etiology**: Flash coloration display (showing bright colors to startle), jumping away, playing dead
- **Frustration Etiology**: Glass surfing at night; excessive calling if breeding conditions triggered accidentally

## AI Communication Decoding
- **AI-Trainable Signals**: Sleep posture (tucked=content), color vibrancy, activity timing, calling frequency
- **Context-Dependent Vocalizations**: Daytime activity may indicate stress OR disturbance - check for environmental triggers
- **Interspecies Communication**: Display species; minimal human interaction; best observed not handled; stress-sensitive to touch

## Husbandry Environment
- **Temperature Gradient**: 24-28°C day (75-82°F); 20-24°C night (68-75°F)
- **Humidity Range**: 80-100%; heavy misting 2-3x daily; rain chamber for breeding
- **UVB Requirement**: Low UVB (2.0); 12h photoperiod; primarily nocturnal
- **Diet Type**: Small crickets, fruit flies, small moths; gut-loaded and dusted with calcium+D3
- **Common Health Issues**: Dehydration (most common), skin infections from poor hygiene, MBD, chytrid fungus
