Can I keep it?
Setup
The numbers
Temperature
One ambient band, 24–28°C, dropping to 20–22°C at night. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet states24-28 °C day; 20-22 °C night (important nocturnal drop); never >30 °C
Humidity
The sheet states80-100%; osmosis-water misting 1-2×/day; shallow water dish
UVB
The sheet statesUVB 2–5% beneficial (improves condition and breeding); photoperiod 10–12 h
Part of this is not on the page we cite. We opened it on 10 Aug 2026 and some of the degrees above are not stated there. The values above may still be right, but we cannot show you where they came from, and nobody here has checked them against a second source. Anything about a sick animal goes to a qualified exotic vet, not to a page. amphibiancare.com
Drag the sun. The sheet states a night temperature, so the rail follows it.
Enclosure and conditions
Enclosure
Drawn from the stated numbers. Only what the sheet states is drawn inside.
Why
The rectangle carries the exact width-to-height ratio of the figures above it, and the ruler under it places that width on the 0–250 cm scale every sheet here shares, so two species still compare at a glance. Nothing is added that the sheet does not name: a lamp drawn on a sheet that never mentions one would be invented equipment. What the sheet leaves out is listed rather than left blank, because an empty tank reads as « none needed ».
The sheet statesArboreal vivarium 45×45×60 cm for 2-4 individuals; heavily planted; false wall + draining substrate + sphagnum + large broad-leaved plants for daytime rest
What your climate adds
This sheet states a range to hold. Your local climate decides how much work holding it is. Pick the nearest city: nothing is sent anywhere, the choice stays in this browser.
What it needs
Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.

The species
Identity
Adult size
True scale, against a 1.75 m person
Logarithmic, the same axis on every sheet
The size the sheet states for a grown animal. This sheet gives a figure per sex; the one drawn is marked.
Why
Two drawings, because they answer two questions. The silhouette is at true scale against a 1.75 m person: it says how big this animal actually is, which no number does for someone who has never seen one. The bar under it is logarithmic and shared by every sheet here, so a 2 cm isopod and a 4 m python both stay readable on the same axis and two species can be compared at a glance.
How common this animal is
NOT a measure of how many are kept. These filings count animals shipped for any purpose, including the food trade and laboratory supply, and they are United States records only. The three largest volumes in the source belong to a food frog, a bait species and the standard laboratory amphibian.
US Fish and Wildlife Service LEMIS declared wildlife import and export records, as compiled in the received dataset
Reproduction
Life course
Read from the lifespan and maturity the sheet states, for animals in care and not in the wild.
Why
The minimum commitment is the low end of that lifespan, and the reproductive window is what is left after maturity: both are subtractions on stated figures, not figures of their own.
Good to know
- Blood-red eyes with vertical slit pupil: opened abruptly, a visual 'flash' that disorients predators (startling coloration)
- Laying on horizontal leaves above water: provide horizontal Philodendron or Anthurium leaves overhanging the water dish
- Actual longevity often > 10 years: medium-term investment
- Actual longevity often > 10 years — medium-term investment
The way of life is written in this sheet, word for word. The climate words summarise the two figures above them, they do not add to them.
CITES II is a global listing and holds in every country. National law is not global, and we hold no national wildlife law for any country, Thailand included. Check your own authority before buying or selling.
Questions & sources
Common questions
Will I get to see the red eyes, or does it sleep all day?
It sleeps tucked under a leaf with its eyes closed during the day and wakes at night. If you want an evening animal, this is a great one.
Is it a beginner frog?
Not really. It needs a tall planted tank with steady misting and good ventilation, so we usually suggest an easier tree frog first.
Can I handle it?
Only when necessary and with clean wet hands. Their skin is thin and absorbs whatever is on your fingers.
Can I keep a few together?
Yes, they are peaceful in groups of similar-sized frogs, and a small group looks very good in a planted tank.

What this sheet states
This sheet states 5 of 7 of the fields this product runs on. What is missing turns something off: day/night engine and awake count on the globe, the diet section. We show the gap rather than fill it with a plausible number.
UVB is measured but does not count: it is absent from 420 of 678 sheets, and on most of them that is not a gap, since a nocturnal snake's sheet has no reason to state a UV index. Counting it would call the library incomplete without cause.
