Night
Substrate and Water Needs:
For substrates i use damp dirt for a base, then on top of it i place a layer of ESU Terrarium moss. For water i place a hard plastic bowl in the corner of the terrarium. You should also spray the terrarium daily for humidity/ drinking sources.

I only use and incadeseant bulb that doesn’t give off heat for display.

Heating and Equipment:
Equipment: I use logs, leaves, and twigs from nature for climbing tools. You should always clean the climbing tools thuroughly to kill any bacteria on it. I also use live/artificial plants for decoration.
Caging Provided:
For caging it is best to use a terrarium that is higher than it is long for tree frogs like to climb up. a 10 gallon is good for 2, 15 gallon for 3, etc. With every tree frog you aquire, add 5 gallons to the terrarium size.

Carnivorous
Description of Diet:
I feed mine crickets, small worms and moths, all dipped in Tetra-Terrafauna calcium powder.
Supplements, Nutrition and Usage:
Tetra-Terrafauna calcium powder for all food sources.
Maintenance:
Clean the cages weekly, water bowls daily, and always have it humid and damp inside the terrarium, since they will dry up without water.
Some Words on this Species:
These tree frogs can be housed with green or barking tree frogs, which have the same requirements as a Grey Tree Frog.
