The Theloderma asperum is a frog in the genus Theloderma. It is also known as the Pied Warty Frog, the Bird Poop Frog, or the Hill Garden Bug-eyed Frog. It is the smallest frog of the genus, reaching no more than 3 centimeters long. The main color of the frog is red-brown. The sides of the frog are mud-white with red spots. The frog has dark red eyes. The frog can be found from India to Vietnam, although it is seen rarely. There is no biological information about the frog, as no adults have been captured and the only 20 young frogs that have been captured died in captivity. The evolution of the eggs lasts for 8–10 days (estimate). They last as tadpoles for 56–70 days (estimate).
