You can send them to me and I'll take care of them

Just kidding. I love them and am really wanting to get some too so I've done quite a bit of research on them as well. Here's what I've found. There a lot like White's tree frogs. They're aboreal and for the most part, diurnal. They like humidity in the 70's and 80's, breed in the hollowed out stumps of trees with water in the bottom (see the link below for more about breeding) and they can eat crickets and waxworms/mealies, nothing larger then they can handle. They grow pretty large for a tree frog about 3-4 inches and they are pretty easy to care for given you meet all their requirements. I've heard of them kept in groups do they don't seem to be territorial with male/female, female/female, or male/male agression. They like a bowl of water to soak in or a water feature that's not too deep. They like lots of places to hide and heavily planted terrariums. I would probably recommend taller terrariums vs.longer and go with the 10 gallon per frog rule. I think that's about it. Oh, babies need to be kept from becomming dehydrated, that seems to be a problem for some reason.

If someone else has any info I would love to hear it (of if any of what I was told was wrong). I plan on getting some in the near future, maybe when I finish my 50 gallon hex. They are beautiful frogs, I fell in love with them the first time I saw them.
