Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well, it seems I have been given said species of frog, after a bit of google searching.. A nice lady came into my work to give me both it, and a giant Whites tree frog to find new homes for.. The whites went into my boyfriends huge colony of whites tree frogs, and I kept the glider.. Now i was wondering if anyone had any care info.. They definatly seem to be a higher humidity species as he dries out quickly.. But i haven't been able to find ANYTHING online, aside from a few photos.. Anyone familiar with these guys?

Thanks for the nice picture of your frog. As for the species, I suspect that it is Polypedates Leucomastyx or Asian Foam-Nesting frog. While it is closely related to the true Gliding Frogs (both species are from the genus Rhacaphoridae), it does not actually glide itself (as you can probably tell since it lacks the large webbing between its toes like the actual Gliding Frogs). It is indigeneous to most of South-East Asia. I keep a specimen here in the U.S., but I grew-up in Malaysia watching them in the wild. For more information on the species, try the following link:

As it is a tropical species, it requires constant higher humidity and warm temperature in its enclosure. It also often looks "dry", as its skin is not designed to have that wet-look common to White's Tree Frog. As a result, it sometimes looks dry. Cheers.
