White’s Tree Frogs have long been considered one of the best tree frogs for new pet owners. Bright green or teal in coloration, these bold frogs have a loud call at night. Best of all, they are easy to care for, hardy, and tolerate handling well. There’s no need to limit yourself to just one White’s Tree Frog, as they do great in groups (as long as they are all about the same size!).
The White’s Tree Frog, also known as the Dumpy Tree Frog, is scientifically known as Litoria caerulea. They are so named for their large, simple appearance (dumpy) and for the naturalist who originally described the species, John White. This frog is also known as the Australian Green Tree Frog, or the Blue Tree Frog. The preserved specimens originally sent back to England that were used to describe the species turned blue in the preservative used! Some individuals display a teal/blue coloration during life, as well.
Pyxicephalus adspersus is known commonly as the Giant African Bullfrog or simply Pixie Frog (sometimes also spelled Pyxie Frog).
The set up for these large frogs is very simple. They are fairly inactive, so a single frog can be kept in a 15 gallon or larger tank. Moist coco fiber is an ideal substrate; there should be enough substrate to allow the frog to completely bury itself. Pixie frogs will also utilize a large, easy to enter water dish for soaking.
Giant African Bullfrogs are native to the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa. They are best kept between 75-90 degrees F with a 5 degree drop at night.
Pixie frogs are voracious eaters and do best with a wide variety of food items. Juveniles should be fed appropriately sized crickets daily.
Pacman Frogs are also known as Argentine Horned Frogs, Ornate Horned Frogs, and Horned Frogs. They are very popular because of the variety of colours they come in. These frogs are not very active. They spend a lot of time sitting half-buried in the substrate of their enclosure, waiting for food.
You can house your adult Pacman Frog in a 10 gallon terrarium. Babies can be kept in small, plastic reptile enclosures. Make sure you provide enough substrate (about 1″ deep for young frogs and 2-3″ deep for adult frogs). Pacmans love to burrow into the substrate and sit with just their eyes showing.
Dart Frogs make amazing captives. They are colourful, relatively easy to care for and low maintenance.
A properly set up vivarium can easily be the focal point of any living room. It’s hard to think of any reasons why someone would not want to keep some of these colourful anurans.
In captivity, Poison Dart Frogs are harmless. They glean their toxic characteristics from a diet of various insects and arthropods found in the jungles of Central and South America. At this point in time, it is not possible to make a captive bred dart frog toxic. Even with wild caught frogs, they tend to lose their toxicity over a period of months when they are subject to a captive diet.
Being that they are relatively small, it may come as a surprise that dart frogs can live well over a decade. It’s not uncommon for thumbnails (Ranitomeya sp.) to live upwards of a decade. Larger frogs, such as tincs (Dendrobates tinctorius) can live over two decades.
