forgs biorythems are effected by photoperiod, which is daily duration of light. this means they must have light during the day, and dark at night.



frogs are also ectothermic, which means their internal body temps are regulated by external enviroment temps, they must have a heat source to keep the temp within the enclosure from 20-30c, if WTF's are kept any colder then this for a long period of time they will devolop "red-leg" which is a deadly bacterial disease which bursts blood capilarys in the thighs and belly of the frog, this results in the frog dieing a terrible death.



the best heat source are incandescent heat lights. this is the most natural light and heat source you can use for frogs.



keep the humidity within 40-60%, whites tree frogs actually prefer lower humidity. not high! if they are in high humidity for long periods they can devolop fungal infections which WILL kill them in a matter of days or weeks.



male frogs will call very LOUD if kept in optimal conditions, female's will reply to the males(not as loud) to let the males know that the female is wanting to breed.
