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/Body Signals	No tail; flash coloration of eyes/flanks/feet used as startle defense

Behavior Problems

Top Problems	Escape attempts if humidity too low, nocturnal noise from males, stress from handling
