Treefrogs Anyone?

[Tangled WWWeb]

Does anyone else keep these? We've maintained a colony of these for a few years.

This is a red-eyed treefrog ( A. callidryas).

This is a red-eye relative , the maroon-eyed treefrog (A. litodryas).

Sweet, I like the red-eyes. That maroon-eyed tree frog looks sweet. Never seen one of them before. I've been wanting to get myself a White's Tree Frog.

Very cool... I don't keep red-eyes, but I do keep green trees though. Been trying to think of a new way of setting them up - I'm terrible with live plants, so I have to think of something with fake ones. Any suggestions?

They are soooo cute! How long do they live ? THe red eyes that is? My closet door is decorated w/pics of Red Eyed Tree frogs, but I dont even own one.

Ravnos: I have only tried artificial plants with my RETF's once, so I don't think I would be much help in the idea department. The ones in the METF pic are just props, and the ones with the RETF are attached to a waterfall that I later removed. I currently grow my live plants in fish bowls with water.

SS: I have heard conflicting reports on longevity. I have had some of mine for 4 years now.

I have a pair of WC adult red eyes, and a "blue" phase whites tree frog (see my avatar pic).

Hey!!

Whites Tree frogs are the god of amphs..!! I have two, they are a blast to own, my male sounds like a bulldog when he calls, can even hear him outside. I use the artificial plants with various species, they work great, just make sure to wash them well, and trim off any sharp edges, I even sand them a little to make sure they are smooth in the rough spots, the frogs love them!!

www.blackjungle.com has a lot of live plants that they sell specifically for frog habitats. I went to the frog day get together in San Jose today and they had a lot of plants on hand for sale. they also have some good information on how to set up your terrarium with live plants for frogs on their website.
