Red-eyed tree frogs are not reptiles.They are amphibians.
Feeding
Red-eyed tree frogs feed on flies, crickets and moths, using their long tongue to snatch them out of the air.
Breeding
Red-eyed tree frogs breed from the end of May to the end of November, in the wet season. Once they have mated, the female frog lays a large clutch of eggs on a leaf. The tadpoles change into frogs in about 80 days.
Looks
Red-eyed tree frogs have bright red eyes and webbed orange-yellow feet. They are lime green with yellow and blue patterned sides. Luckily they do not carry poison, unlike the poison dart frog. They like to keep moist and stay near the water in case an enemy approaches.
Habitat
These frogs live in rainforests and the tropics. They also live in ponds in gardens and forests.
Nocturnalism
Red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal.
Lifespan
These frogs live up to 5 years.
I wish i could meet a red-eyed tree frog like the ones you have drawn. How did you manage to make the top frog cling to the branch like that and look as if it was staring at something really interesting! What is the lower one doing? Is it a smaller frog and afraid of falling off????
