My red-eyed Tree Frog

[Horsy]

I got my little red-eyed Tree Frog yesterday and he's great! His water doesn't have a heater but he has UV Lights. The caresheets for this particular breed said that they strive in room temperature and heaters aren't needed, only in winter. Once my baby Bearded Dragon moves into a bigger enclosure (happening in a few weeks), my RTF is moving into the Exoterra enclosure. His name is Freddo. Bahaha

Enclosure

I love it at night when all is quiet and all of a sudden you hear this tiny croak =D He's so gorgeous.

Very Nice

beautiful! he's so little. i went to the australian reptile park today at gosford and fell in love with these guys all over again... just convinced myself they're too hard and i should get some kind of dragon instead...

 

[Horsy]

Why are they too hard? I think they are relatively easy as long as you keep the water clean, which is hard to do since they get covered in dirt then jump in

 

[cobb]

nice little frog! how much did he set you back?

 

[Tatelina]

I've seen smaller and cuter..but he is gorgeous! And looks like he would be loving him home.

They are extremely hard to get from tadpole to a decent size frog!!!!!

 

[redline]

Verynice. I am thnking of get some soon.

 

[Adam]

I had so many tadpoles but they are just so hard to get feeding well, even some that feed well just seem to die anyway. I haven't had a problem with the GTF's, only the red eyes. I was going to start selling some of, but nature has taken care of that. Now I will be keeping pretty much all my Red Eyes, they are still so tiny.

Cool pics though Horsy and nice setup too.

Whats the difference between the one in the pic and the ones with bright red eyes and blue sides? Sorry for the rooky question!

 

[moosenoose]

Has anyone tried not putting anything other than distilled water in with them?? Rainwater and filtered water, but keep away from tap water. Might help?? I never put anything other than rain/ distilled or filtered in with my GTF's and it had great results (11+yrs worth of results mind you)

Beautiful froggy Horsy, they are very cute.

 

[Adam]

I use tap water, but have filters in with them, with no problems yet, thats for 2 years.

 

[PhilK]

Anyone know the answer to my question?

 

[grimbeny]

The ones with blue sides, are from south america. But they share the same name.

Those are from South America and share the same common name as our Aussie red-eyes, whose scientific name is Litoria chloris.

I use tap water for my frogs and just treat it with a chlorine neutraliser.

To bad you don't live closer, I've got a few thousand tads I've got to move.

 

[Jakee]

do you need a licence with RTF & GTF ???
And how much is for the licence if needed ????

 

[grimbeny]

Yea in NSW u need a licence, i think it costs the same or just a little bit cheaper to a reptile licence, like 40 - 60 $
