The dorsal side of Theloderma khoii is green or olive with mossy markings, which makes it easy to identify from other Theloderma species. The Theloderma khoii may blend in amazingly well with the background of stones covered in lichens or tree leaves thanks to its moss-green coloring on the dorsal side.
The adult male frog measures about 52.1 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog is about 59.4 mm long. The skin on the frog's back has numerous wart. It is mossy green to olive green in color, mottled with some magenta.[3]
