Introduction: The Asian painted frog is a small, round frog native to southeast Asia. They occur naturally in a wide variety of habitats, from populated villages, to rice fields, to leaf-covered forest floors. Like many species of amphibians, their activity is seasonal. They are most productive after storms during the rainy season. During dry months of the year, they often are secretive and rarely reveal themselves to humans. Most are light brown with two tan stripes on their back. Adults mature to a size between 2 and 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) in length. Common names include chubby frog, Asian painted frog, Asian bullfrog, and Malayan narrow-mouthed toad.
