>>Hello everyone;
>>
>> I have purchased 2 white lipped tree frogs. I have no idea what the sexs are, however at this time they are both puffed up. I think about 10 mins. ago they where calling. to me it sounded like the neighbors had 2 small dogs barking. Does that sound like their calls? Also if they r both males do I have to seperate them. They are in what I was told a 20 gal tank but I think its more like a 30.
>>Is there anything eles those of you with more experiance than I can tell me that matbe helpful?
>>Thank you all for your time.

White lipped treefrogs, or Litoria infrafrenata, are big frogs. They are much bigger than their relatives the White's treefrogs. But unlike their calmer relatives, L. infrafrenata tends to be more timid and nervous. They don't like being touched, unlike White's treefrogs (which sometimes act like a lap dog of the amphibian world). Most treefrogs will peacefully coexist, even if they are males, when confined within the same cage. L. infrafrenata is no exception. It is safe to keep them in the same tank. Most of the time they will ignore each other. If one touches another's back by accident, the one that is touched may give out a protest call, but that is about it. They won't fight, bite, or harm each other. In fact the general peaceful nature of frogs make the discovery of the so-called gladiator treefrogs so surprising. Some species of treefrogs have spines on their hands that they use to injure or even kill their rival males. But that is the exception rather than the rule.
