The Amazon milk frog (Trachycephalus resinifictrix) is a large tree frog (2.5" to 4") that can turn up almost anywhere in the rainforests of South America. During the day or in dry weather it retreats into the centers of bromeliad plants, between the folded leaves of other plants or in tree holes where some moisture remains.

The species' common and scientific names refer to a thick milky fluid these frogs excrete when stressed. This is not only poisonous but also sticky and irritating; the substance should be especially painful if you were to get it in your eye or an open wound.

The Amazon milk frog is commonly found in captivity and is listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List

Bullsnakes are large, nonvenomous snakes that are a subspecies of the gopher snake. When threatened, a bullsnake can put on a defensive display that mimics a rattlesnake - it will curve its body into an S-shaped position, vibrate its tail against the ground or leaves, flatten its head, and hiss loudly. Bullsnakes can amplify their hissing and are able to make a loud grunting sound that can be heard up to 100 feet away!

As slow-moving snakes, bullsnakes face the threat of road mortality, in addition to the loss of their habitats as a result of development. ARC’s place-based approach to amphibian and reptile conservation works to restore habitats and ensure that cherished herps thrive for generations to come.
