Green Tree Frog care: Supplied by forum member Fish_geek


AKA: American Green Tree Frog

Origin: Southeastern U.S. (Semi-tropical climate)
Classification: Amphibians


Adult Size: up to 3 inches


Active time: nocturnal


Temperature: room temp is fine (68-77 F), Under-Tank Heater is a good idea if needed


Humidity: high. Mist every morning (less bacterial build-up when you mist early in the day).
Setup:


-aquariums work well -minimum 10 gallons, taller is better
-screen top is a must!
-Eco Earth, potting soil (no fertilizer), carpet
-driftwood, corkbark, cleaned branches from outside, anything they can climb
-shallow water dish (dechlorinated water, change daily!)
-plants (plastic is easier b/c you won't need the lighting or worry about which ones are poisonous, can also use air ferns as long as you don't let them dry out)
-Clean enclosure weekly with hot water, no soap!


Feeding: carnivorous. Crickets are easiest, but silkworms and phoenix worms are good too if you can get them. Dust with Calcium and Vitamin supplements 3 times per week
