Theloderma licin

The smooth-skinned warted tree frog or white-backed bug-eyed frog (Theloderma licin) is a frog.  It lives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Scientists found some 82 and 193 meters above sea level.

Body
The adult male frog is about 28.0 – 30.1 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 27.5 – 31.2 mm long.  The skin on the frog's back is white-brown with darker spots and marks.  The chin is brown.  The iris of the eye is red in color.

Home
This frog can live in different places: forests that have been cut down and are growing back, near the edges of forests, and near pools.  People saw one frog in a bathroom in Sungai Lasor.  People see them sitting about 40 cm above the ground.

Many of the places the frog lives are protected parks: Taman Negara National Park, Lakum Forest Reserve, Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, Ampang Forest Reserve, Raja Muda Forest Reserve, Kenaboi Forest Reserve, and Khao Lu-ang National Park.

Young
Scientists do not know where this frog lays eggs or where the tadpoles grow, but they think it is in water-filled holes in trees. They think this because that is where other Theloderma tadpoles grow.

Name
Scientists named this frog licin from the Malay language word for "smooth." This is because the frog has smooth skin.

Danger
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place and because it is good at living in places that humans have changed.
