Care Sheet Submitted By: | Basilisk15 |
Years Experience: | 3 to 5 Years |
Species: | Barking Tree Frog |
Other Species or Phases this Care Sheet May Cover: | Other tree frogs |
Sexing and Characteristics: | The chin part of the males is greener than the females. Males also bark. |
Mostly Active During: | Night |
Substrate and Water Needs: | They need a bowl of water for soaking. Don’t make it deep, because they’ll drown. The best substrate is Bed-A-Beast. Other substrates that are usable are newspaper (Very unnatural looking, though), paper towels, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Jungle Bedding. |
Lighting and UVB: | Get a low wattage bulb for lighting. If you don’t have one, keep them in a bright room and turn off the lights at night. |
Temperatures and Humidity: | The temperatures should be around 70-82 degrees. The humidity should be around 70-100 percent. |
Heating and Equipment: | Usually, room temperature is good enough, unless you live somewhere cold. A low wattage heat lamp is needed if you do live in a cold place. If you have a heat lamp, mist the cage often to cool down your frog. |
Caging Provided: | A 20-gallon tank is good, but if it’s bigger, than it’s better. They love climbing, so get them some stuff to climb. Be sure you have a lid for your tank, because the frog will climb the glass and escape |
Diet: | Carnivorous |
Description of Diet: | Crickets should be the main thing you feed them. They can also eat fruit flies, superworms, moths, waxworms, nightcrawlers, red worms, and I think they can eat small pinkies. Avoid mealworms. |
Supplements, Nutrition and Usage: | Dust their food with calcium supplement. |
Maintenance: | Clean out your tank, when it needs to be. Don’t handle your frog , often. |
Some Words on this Species: | Good frogs to own. Good for beginners. Don’t get them if think they’re gonna be fun to watch. They mostly just sit in a corner during the day. |
