Appearance

The Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale has a striking appearance that makes it especially popular with amphibian enthusiasts. Its large red eyes contrast with its green body, while the sides may display blue, yellow, and orange markings. Healthy skin should appear smooth and free of unexplained wounds.

Size

Adult Red Eyed Tree Frogs commonly reach about 2 to 3 inches in body length, with females usually larger than males. Provide adequate vertical space so the frog can climb and rest comfortably.

Weight

Weight varies with sex, age, hydration, and body condition. Females are generally heavier than males. Monitoring body shape and feeding behavior is more useful than focusing on an exact weight.

Lifespan

With appropriate husbandry, a Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale can live for many years in captivity. Consistent environmental conditions, quality nutrition, sanitation, and attentive observation are important for long-term health.

Natural Habitat

Red Eyed Tree Frogs naturally inhabit humid tropical forests from southern Mexico through parts of Central America. They spend much of their time above the forest floor among leaves and branches, where humidity and vegetation provide shelter.

Behavior & Temperament

The species is primarily nocturnal. During the day, it often rests on leaves or branches with its eyes closed and body tucked into a compact position. After dark, it becomes more active, climbing and searching for food.

Diet & Feeding

A Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale should receive appropriately sized live insects. Crickets, roaches, and other safe feeder insects can provide variety. Feeder insects should be appropriately supplemented with calcium and vitamins according to the frog’s age and care plan.

Feeding Schedule

Adults are commonly fed several times per week, while juveniles may need more frequent meals. Offer appropriately sized prey and monitor body condition. Remove uneaten insects when needed to maintain enclosure hygiene.

Housing & Enclosure

A secure vertical enclosure is ideal for the Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale. Provide sturdy branches, broad leaves, vines, and elevated resting areas. Live or artificial plants can provide cover and help the frog feel secure.

Enclosure Size

For one adult, a vertical enclosure around 18 x 18 x 24 inches is a useful starting point. More space is beneficial, especially for multiple frogs. All doors and ventilation openings should be escape-proof.

Substrate

Use an amphibian-safe substrate that supports appropriate humidity without becoming constantly saturated. Coconut fiber, organic soil mixes, leaf litter, or a properly established bioactive substrate can be suitable options.

Temperature

Maintain moderate temperatures with a gentle gradient. Avoid excessive heat, especially during the day. Digital thermometers placed in relevant areas help you monitor the enclosure accurately.

Humidity

Humidity should generally remain elevated while allowing adequate ventilation. Regular misting can provide drinking opportunities and maintain moisture, but the enclosure should not remain stagnant or continuously waterlogged.

Lighting (UVB Requirements)

A consistent day-and-night cycle is important. Low-level UVB can be beneficial when used correctly, although it should not create excessive heat. Provide shaded areas so the frog can choose where to rest.

Water Requirements

Provide clean, dechlorinated water in a shallow dish if appropriate for the enclosure setup. Many tree frogs also drink droplets from leaves and enclosure surfaces after misting. Replace dirty water promptly.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Remove waste and uneaten food regularly. Clean the water dish frequently, wipe heavily soiled surfaces, and monitor substrate moisture. A bioactive enclosure still requires routine inspection and maintenance.

Health & Common Diseases

Improper care can contribute to dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic bone disease, parasites, bacterial infections, and fungal conditions. Unusual lethargy, appetite loss, abnormal posture, or skin changes should be evaluated by an experienced exotic-animal veterinarian.

Signs of a Healthy Animal

A healthy Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale should have clear, bright eyes, intact skin, good body condition, normal climbing ability, and a healthy feeding response. Alertness and regular nighttime activity are also positive signs.

Handling Tips

Limit handling because amphibian skin is sensitive. When handling is necessary, use clean, powder-free gloves or properly rinsed, moist hands. Keep sessions brief and avoid excessive pressure.

Breeding Information

Breeding requires healthy mature frogs, suitable environmental conditions, appropriate humidity, and access to suitable vegetation for egg deposition. Tadpole care requires separate preparation and knowledge of aquatic amphibian husbandry.

Beginner or Experienced Keeper?

A Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale can be suitable for a dedicated beginner who has researched amphibian care and prepared the enclosure in advance. Their environmental requirements still require consistent monitoring.
