Trachycephalus resinifictrix frogs have a name called milk frog because of the habit of secreting a milky white liquid when under stress.
This frog lives in the Amazon rainforest. They are often found in areas with slow water, or near trees. The skin of this species is only milky white with black bands around the body as a child. As they grow, these bands of color change with other colors such as gray, yellow.
The frog's mouth has a distinctive blue color, at least as a child.
They were first discovered along the Maracana River, Brazil.
An adult frog can be 6cm to 10cm long. When the tadpole has just passed, they are only 1 finger length long.
Their food is insects. They often work a lot at night.
The milky white fluid that the frog secretes behind the back when fear is very toxic.
The mating season, male milk frogs can sound very loud, all night to invite mates. Female frogs are usually larger than male frogs.
This frog is hard to find in retail or pet collections like domestic pets, simply because no one knows how to take care of them.
Female frogs usually lay eggs between November and May. A female can lay 2,500 eggs in the wet season. All these eggs will hatch into tadpoles on the same day.
Male frogs often call frogs to their 'nest' to lay eggs, then call other females to lay eggs but not necessarily fertilize these eggs. After that, the male frog 'left' the tadpoles of the frog frog's first tadpole second.
