Boophis tephraeomystax — Dumeril’s Bright-eyed Frog
Chez Arol grounds, Masoala National Park, Toamasina province, Madagascar—May 1, 2007

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 2007 trip to Madagascar.

Kind of an ordinary-looking frog, but at least it's a better photo than the one from 2007 above.

I guess it's not their fault that they are ordinary-looking. All frogs are cute when viewed straight on, so there's that at least.

There are two common small treefrogs at Anja, this one and Heterixalus betsileo. Both are sometimes green and sometimes brown, so identifying these frogs is not obvious at first glance. In the case of Boophis tephraeomystax, it's the youngsters that tend to be green or have green spots.
