A normal 10 cm (4 inches) in length, this frog tends to look in fat and flabby. Females have been known to produce as long as 5 inches, nose to vent. The males usually grow to be about 4 inches long. Its' smooth green skin characteristically appears to be folded from its' tendency to be obese.
Occasionally it will change colors to brown, and sometimes it will also have some little white spots all over it's body. Their tough skin helps them to retain water. It seems, from what other White's Tree Frog owners have said, that the higher the humidity, and lesser the temperature, the darker and browner their colors. Whereas if the temperater is higher, with less humidity, they tend to be brighter, more blue. It's funny looks have also brought about nicknames like "Dumpy Tree Frog" and "Smiling Frog."
