The numbers
Temperature
One ambient band, 22–27°C. This sheet states no warm side, no cool side and no night figure, so none are shown. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet states22-27 °C; tolerance 18-30 °C; slight nocturnal drop to 20-22 °C beneficial
Humidity
The sheet states60-80%; misting 1×/day; shallow water dish
UVB
The sheet statesUVB 2–5% beneficial (especially for breeding); photoperiod 12 h
Identity
Adult size
The size the sheet states for a grown animal.
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.
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 30×30×45 cm for 3-4 individuals; 45×45×60 cm for group of 6-8; plants + vertical branches
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.
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.
Common health problems
Good to know
- Strong and characteristic nocturnal call after misting. ♂ call in chorus, sometimes very loudly in captivity
- Ideal beginner species: robust, available, undemanding; good first arboreal anuran
- ♂ throat is pale yellowish to pale greenish: easily visible in raking light
- Strong and characteristic nocturnal call after misting — ♂ call in chorus, sometimes very loudly in captivity
- ♂ throat is pale yellowish to pale greenish — easily visible in raking light
Common questions
Is it an easy first tree frog?
Yes, one of the easiest. It is hardy, eats crickets well and does not need anything exotic beyond a tall tank and misting.
How loud is it?
Males call in loud repeated honks at night. Not the loudest frog we have, but you will definitely hear it.
Can I keep a group?
Yes, they do well in groups of similar-sized frogs with enough plants and perches to spread out on.
How much does it cost to feed each month?
Very little, usually a couple of hundred baht of crickets a month, plus calcium and vitamin powder that lasts a long time.
What it needs
Every line above is deduced from a value this sheet states, and names which one. Nothing here is a general recommendation.

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 421 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.
