The Amazon Milk Frog (Trachycephalus resinifictrix formerly Phrynohyas resinifictrix) is a large species of arboreal frog native to South America. It is sometimes referred to as the Mission golden-eyed tree frog or blue milk frog. It was first discovered along the Maracan?? River, in Brazil.

Description
Amazon milk frogs are a fairly large frog, attaining sizes of 2.5 to 4 inches in length. They are light grey in color with brown or black banding. As juveniles their patterning is much more contrasting and fades some as they age. Their skin has a slightly bumpy texture to it.

Habitat
Amazon milk frogs inhabit humid rainforest regions. They often inhabit vegetation which extends over permanent, slow moving water sources.

Diet
Like most other species of frog, Amazon milk frogs are carnivorous. They will consume almost any type of small arthropod they can overpower and swallow.

In captivity
Phrynohyas resinifictrix is commonly found in captivity. They are a species of moderate difficulty to care for, requiring a significant amount of space and regular cage maintenance to ensure a clean environment.
