Description
Adult males measure 28–32 mm (1.1–1.3 in) and adult females 30–36 mm (1.2–1.4 in) in snout–vent length. The dorsum is warty and shows an hour-glass pattern. The pupil is horizontal. There is no distinct phase F ("female phase") colouring, but females are often uniformly coloured.
Range & habitat
Hyperolius tuberculatus is found in forest clearings and heavily degraded former forest as well as in secondary forest in the central African rainforest belt; it does not occur in closed, undisturbed forest. Its breeding habitat is flexible: breeding can take place in both still and flowing water, and in both temporary and permanent waterbodies. This common and adaptable species is not facing any significant threats.
