I know you're not supposed to use your hands but I am extremely worried about these weird blotches forming on my WTF.
If anyone knows what I can do or if this is normal/not normal please let me know.
When should I worry about my frogs? The temperature should be fine, but I’m worried about their cycle.
Al Croaker looked so handsome this morning striking a pose on his favorite perch and showing off his froggy moobs!
I just received my juvenile White’s Tree Frogs on Tuesday. Last night, we had massive storms and my power went out. my froggies stay in the basement with me, so we dont get a lot of heat. Since its the 4th and there are 51 outages with my electric company, they have zero idea when the power is coming back on. I tried pressing a candle to the side of the tank last night at around midnight to one am (because i had just gotten home from fireworks), but that did nothing. I have nothing els warm. I would hold them to keep them warm, but they havent been handled yet. My parents refused to turn on the generator and i dont know how. I also dont have my license yet so i cannot go buy anything. if anyone has any tips, please let me know. I dont want to lose them i love them so much and i have wanted them for 9 years.
P.S. the humidity is also super high because the air isnt circulating, but that is less of an issue. if anyone has tips for that as well id greatly appreciate it.
EDIT: I found a travel tank i forgot i had, i am taking them to my grandmas since she has power. i dont expect to have power for a few days so im keeping them at my grandmas until we have power again
I’m new to RETFs so I have NO idea how standard this is but I will run cautiously every time.
I’ve only had her a week, this is the color she was when I turned on her day light for the morning. She’s usually, yk, bright green. I immediately had to leave for work.
Cause for concern? Vet time? or normal? I haven’t seen any websites mention turning BROWN!
(10g, younger frog; temp 75-80, humidity 72-82, bioactive; day/night cycle)
got them off fb marketplace over a month ago from a girl that said her “college roommates got them for her as a prank”, that “it’s impossible for them to die” and “it’s time for me (her) to move on. 5 year old male and 2 year old female (she didn’t know the sexes either) Idk how they survived; they lived off of only meal worms and their substrate was dyed fake moss superglued on. Glad one woman/persons neglected froggies became my precious babies they’re so happy now, didn’t know frogs were a “funny prank” to people until now though. Their names are Tiana and Naveen :)
My girl has been home for about a week now. She’s in a 10gal (for now, I intend to upgrade to 20 when she gets bigger) and she’s doing well. Bioactive tank (mostly isopods), mid to high 70s temp with a day/night cycle and 75 to 85% humidity usually, full of stuff to climb, broad leafed plants, etc. A photo is attached - since I’m a new keeper, I’m always open to suggestions to improve <3
Now, when I got her, I was more than aware fhat RETFs are not really viewing pets. I didn’t get a RETF because I wanted a frog and they were pretty; I got a RETF because I am obsessed with RETFs specifically. BUT..
I do want to be able to view her awake a few times a week to make sure she is doing well. Hunting successfully (crickets ARE vanishing), exercising, etc.
Being nocturnal, she will not move from her leaf pose with any lights on. Does anyone have any suggestions for nighttime viewing?
I do have a red light (see photos), but I’ve heard highly mixed opinions from other RETF keepers on them.
Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions?
I got this in Facebook marketplace. I believe it’s a Reti zoo 18 x 18 x 36. I just started a bioactive build, but the door snapped back and it broke and the plastic hinge on it went with it. I’m halfway done with my build. I’ve been buying shit for this for weeks. This was so stupid.
Please, somebody give me some helpful words. I’m at the verge of tears.
Glass is intact. This is for a WTF.
Edit: we will release him back outside. I didn’t know this was a bad thing so we will put him back. Thanks for letting me know.
This pacific tree frog has joined our family because grandpa found him. Mg daughter is obsessed with him and wants us to help him live a long life. He’s been with us for 2 weeks and is thriving.
Please give advice about our setup and feeding. He’s in a terrarium that’s 8x14 and 17 inches tall. His flooring is coconut husk with 1/3 covered in moss. He has a shallow water dish about 3 inches sister. He has a variety of silk and plastic plants, and is eating flightless fruit flies. Should we add crickets for a variety of food? Do we need to control the humidity and temp. Or can we just keep him at room temp?
(Very excited gasps from the 4 of us watching haha)
Hello, do anyone know what light I could use for my frog terrarium. I have a light but don’t like it becuase it not look good in my room. I want a nice flat and small light that will make my frog look good on it
Hi guys! I added the guild that was here on my ChatGPT and asked her to give me options for the lights.
I also have vitamin D with calcium supplementation and just calcium supplementation just in case
I think I really just need the light for the plants, is this OK? Or do I need to spend the $120 for the shade dweller but I don’t even know how much percentage UVB my WTF frog needs?
I would love your official opinion, the blessing of the community lol
It’s carbonized cork ! I plan on adding the live plans on the little gaps on top of the shelf and tube thing
It took so long 🥸🥸
The temp and humidity is perfect conditions, I do extensive monitoring. So I know it’s not that,
But like I always see him near his water bowl at the bottom of the cage, he doesn’t move much from there really. And he does eat some food I give him, which is dusted in vitamin and calcium powder.
And hes always a greyish black colour, when Ive seen him light green before.
I feel like somethings wrong, i dont rlly see him climb high up anymore. Im not too sure what’s wrong, but whatever it is I wanna change it so he’s happier. Any ideas guys?-
Hi everyone i’m getting nervous about my RETF. I currently have two and one of them looks skinny and possible irritation on its skin. The other looks perfectly fine nice and full with natural light green color. I don’t ever handle them unless I have people over. Today I came home and saw one of them looks so skinny. I haven’t changed anything I have automatic misters and Humidity levels have stayed the same as well as temp. Feeding has stayed the same since I’ve got them (I throw in 8-10 small/medium crickets every two days lightly dusted with LoD since they have appropriate UVB). Any advice on what I should do before making a vet visit?
