Hello everyone!
I'm planning to get a couple of red eyed tree frogs in the very near future and so i've been doing a lot of research. I do however have one question to which I cannot find a consistant answer... How long do they usually live for? Does anyone know?
It's not that it will change my mind on getting them, it's just that i'm really curious. Thanks in advance!

I think care, diet, size of tank and other details like that influence how long your frog lives. Also genetics. You are probably getting mixed results because not everyone has the same conditions for the frogs.

I think my frog owns a megaphone....
White's tree frogs : 1:1
Mantella viridis : 1:2
I too have tried to find those answers.
It seems that the answer "it depends" holds true. In the wild I'm sure that their lifespan is quite short given predators, mother nature and such. In captivity, given sometimes imperfect conditions it can too be shortened, maybe just a few years.
In better conditions and provided no sickeness I would say the answer lies on the higher ends suggested, say 8-15 yrs.
it says on almost every care sheet how old they live- 8-12 yeras on average.
