Green Tree Frogs

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mediterranean geckos or indo-pacific geckos. I find those cohabitating with green tree frogs all the time by my patio light. I don't think they would bother each other and they should be very cheap too considering how common they are.
 
Looks like a nice setup, but it might get a bit dry for them. I suggest blocking off part of the screen with glass or plastic to keep up the humidity between mistings.
 
I think I may buy one of those humidity readers (not sure what they are called) over the weekend. I am going home for thanksgving and I can stop in at the reptile supplier. Their skin is always shiny, so I am not too worried about that. As for temperature, it was 78 degrees in front of the light bulb and about 75 when everything is turn off.
Everyone was active last night, they were all on the ledge this morning (well 4 of them were), so it seems like a hit. The only thing I really want to change is a water dish. I want something that is somewhere deep, but teh crickets will not die in? Any ideas for that?
 
I wish I knew a good solution to that problem. Probably the easiest thing is to use a water dish that is off the substrate, either propped up or attached to the tank sides.

Great looking set up. They have lots of room and nice areas to climb,etc.

The cricket drowning is easy to solve.

Just put alittle piece of wood in the water dish that protrudes on to the land . They will swim to it and walk out.
 
Except when they leap in head-first or back-first....Sometimes I think all crickets must have nematomorph infections (maturing nematomorphs hijack the host's neuroendocrine system and steer it towards water).
 
I used to have a stick in there,lol. I will be getting some more sticks this weekend so everything shoudl be good. Even when I had the stick in the water the crickets would not clue in :(
I have a 3 gallon plastic aquarium, should I use that for the frogs instead?
 
You mean taking them out to feed? That's not a bad idea, but feed one frog at a time if you're using a small feeding tank.
