Reptile & Amphibian Forums

does anyone know how to do this? im open to suggestions. I know they need a bigger tank they are in a 29 gal and there is 7 of them how large of a tank do i need for starters. Thanks a bunch.

you have to simulate, as closely as possble, the seasonal settings and changes of their natural habitat.
i think that to be realy sucessful, you need to know all the ins and outs of cuban tree frogs well, and especialy your own particular animals. i suggest doing some hardcore reserch while getting your animals in top condition (a must for breeding anysort of animal).
other than that, i have no idea about the specifics of breeding cuban tree frogs. good luck!

In the Florida Keys, the Cuban treefrogs bred most frequently after a heavy rain. They congregate around a small body of water after the rains in large groups and mate.

In captivity, the general method of breeding treefrogs is to construct a rain chamber. Get a large aquarium, I'd say a 55 in your case but you may get away with a smaller tank, and fill it with a few inches of water. You want to have several logs and other think in the water that will allow the frogs to get out of the water.

In the water, you need to have a pump attached to a section of tubing that runs up the side of the tank, and then length-wise across the top of the tank. Poke a series of holes in the tubing and when the pump is turned on, this will simulate rain.

Keep them in there for a while, and if they are interested, the males will begin croaking. You will then see amplexus and hopefully, eggs. If they looked stressed after a while, remove them and try again later.

That being said, Cuban treefrogs are an invasive species in South Florida and are a real threat to the local native species, namely green treefrogs. If you should be successful in breeding them, be sure that the offspring are not released into the wild. The native species dont need any extra competition.

Good Luck

I will be looking for a bigger tank starting payday. I just love these frogs they were wild caught in flordia by me( dont think i was allowed to do that but too late now. they have thrived ( i think) i have a couple that are 5".Now i have a sentimenatl attachment to them me and my boyfriend were on our first vacation together when i caught them.
