Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

Most frogs need damp shade, but the waxy monkey frog thrives in dry, sun-baked scrub — because it makes its own sunscreen. It spreads a waxy secretion over its skin to seal in moisture, and instead of hopping, it climbs deliberately, hand over hand, like a little green monkey.

It Waxes Itself

Using its legs, the waxy monkey frog wipes a waterproof, waxy secretion across its entire body, sealing in moisture so it can bask in dry, sunny conditions that would dry out most frogs.

A Frog That Walks

Rather than leap, it moves with a slow, deliberate, hand-over-hand climb through the branches — the ‘monkey’ in its name — gripping twigs with opposable-looking toes.

Built for the Dry Chaco

It lives in the arid Gran Chaco, an unusual home for a tree frog, made possible entirely by its remarkable waterproofing behavior.

Calm and Curious

Slow-moving and mild-mannered with striking silvery eyes, the waxy monkey frog is a favorite oddball among keepers — here rounded into a plump, waxy-green figure.

“A frog that walks like a monkey and waxes on its own sunscreen.”
