Blue webbed feet tree frog

moko May 06, 2005 05:01 PM

This frog is much like the red eyed tree frog, but it has blue eyes and these funky webbed feet that are yellow and blue. It's a very sticky frog and seems to not mind being held. I can't find any info on it. Anyone familiar with this frog.

Here's my set-up. 10 gallon tank with a 25 watt bulb dome basking light on the screen. spagnum moss and peat moss substrate with 5" square water dish (frog is about 2" long) and a bromeliad plant with broad leaves and some sticks. Feeding it 1/4" crickets. Does this sound adequate? What about uvb?

Sounds like some type of a gliding frog. If i am correct, they are pretty delicate, and have not been bred too extensively in captivity. This means that your specimen is probably wild caught. The general rule for feeding crickets is that the crickets should be about as long as the frog's head is wide. Remeber to gut load and I'd suggest supplementing with vitamin/calcium powder once a week. It is my opinion that anything under a 29 standard tank is too small for all but the smallest of treefrogs. Espeically a gliding frog. I would upgrade if thats possible. Depending on the exact species of frog, I would be careful not to over heat it with the basking light as few tree frogs will bask ( most tree frog are comfortable in the high 60's to 80 degree range), and being noctural, it does not need a uvb light. UVB/UBA will, however be beneficial to your bromeliad, but it can give off heat, so watch for that. Your substrate and water bowls sound fine, though you may want to consider using paper towels as substrate until you are positive the animal is healthy. Good Luck
