Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I just wanted to know the basic info on these guys like for set ups should they have a little pond spot or not whats the best food for them, lighting, dusting food, and how they get along with others? Anythings appreciated. ThankS.

I'll assume you mean Phyllomedusa Hypochondrialis, and not the Tiger-legged "Lemur" Treefrog (P. Tomopterna).

I personally use a 12x12x36 "tall" enclosure, with a half-screen/half-plexi top for humidity control. Lots of climbing surfaces, and a small water dish are needed.

Temps can run 85+F during the day (no hotter than 90) and around a 10 degree drop at night (to about 75). I use a 40 or 60 watt SunGlo (depending on the ambient room temp) and a flourescent for the day, with a 40 MoonGlo at night. Mine didn't seem to like a red-colored nightlight.

Humidity can rage from 40% ("dry" season) to 65-75 (normal) to almost 85% for breeding.

Food is easy... small crickets, flightless fruit flies, and smaller beetles. Mine enjoy small pill bugs and cultured houseflies. Feeding them every other day is fine.

With dusting, I use the Treefrog Dust by Sandfire/T-Rex every other feeding. That, and a varied insect diet, work well.

A good caresheet that I use for reference is the one at Derek's site. I'll provide a link below.
