tiger striped monkey tree frog

This is the coolest frog. Moves like a mechanical frog, very slow and with much purpose almost like it's blind. It's green with the orange and black stripes on the inside of the legs. You can't see the stripes when it's perched.

I'm pretty sure my set-up is okay. I really grilled the breeder , a very nice older couple from florida. Good thing I did because I have seen nothing on this frog. It likes a much lower humidity level than most tree frogs, otherwise, it's about the same with temps and feeding. Anyone care to add anything?

i have one, he likes it hot and dry...any idea what size enclosure it would take to house a small colony of maybe 4 or 5?

I don't know about keeping that many, but I did find a good website with lots of info that might answer that question. I found it by googling the scientific name which is Hypochondrialis. The website is www.easyamphibians.so.uk/treefrogs/tiger-leg-monkey-frog/ They are cool little guys. I sure wouldn't mind having more.
