Dumeril’s Bright-eyed Frog
My sister Mary had a large, interesting snake in her bungalow's bathroom. All my wife Monica and I had was this frog.
(OK, we also had a very large, very flat spider lurking behind the mirror.)
I had originally identified this frog as Guibemantis tornieri. Thanks to Madagascar frog expert Devin Edmonds for correcting me.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Madagascar.
