Behavioral Ethogram

Locomotion	Climbing (primary), jumping between branches, swimming, walking
Social	Tolerant of conspecifics; can be housed in groups; males call during breeding season
Comfort	Resting on broad leaves/branches, soaking in water dish, sleeping in groups
Stress/Displacement	Color darkening, excessive hiding, refusing food, skin lesions, jumping at glass
Breed-Specific	Extremely docile and handleable; prone to obesity; long-lived; communal species; iconic pet frog

Vocalization Baseline

Types	Barking/croak (males, breeding), distress calls, rain calls
Frequency Range	800-2,500 Hz
Tendency	Medium
Primary Modality	Vocal (males especially); body color changes; posture (inflated throat during calling)
Tail/Body Signals	No tail; body color (green=content, brown=stressed/cold) indicates state

Behavior Problems

Top Problems	Obesity-related lethargy, glass surfing (escape attempts), nocturnal noise
Medical Etiology	Lethargy from obesity; skin issues from poor humidity; MBD causing weak limbs
