The frog species kept as pets by hobbyists is the javan whipping frog. Sticking on stems or leaves as a means of support is seen to be a fascinating way of living. A line on the back of these Polypedates leucomystax is their distinctive marking. On Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and Sulawesi, as well as other islands between 200 and 1,400 meters above sea level, you can find Javan whipping frogs.
