These guys are great frogs. Lepto. Vermiculatus. The industry is selling them as Peacock Tree Frogs I believe. I've had a m/f pair for about a year now. Info and care sheets are hard to come by for these guys. I've found care to be much like White's TF. My female is about 3" snot-vent, male is 2 1/2" s-v. They are disk-like when grown and kinds chubby. Females will turn various shades of brown and males will too bt keep some green markings. If you're extremly lucky a male will retain a very large amount of their juvinile coloring(it's rare for it to happen). I'd say a 30g hex or 29g will work for a pair. Lots of hanging vines and branches. Personalities are alot like White's, very curoius and active though not as "tameable" as White's. Big appetites. They do tend to deficate in their water dish so that needs fresh every day. They like hideaways also. My female spends as much time hiding under the elevated (terra-cotta?) water dish letting the water drip in her as she does hanging in the leaves. I hope this helps. I'm at work doing this bt as soon as I get home I'll post links to the site i've fond for these great frogs.

Enjoy
