Setup
The numbers
Temperature
One ambient band, 24–28°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 states24-28 °C; tolerance 22-30 °C (robust tropical species)
Humidity
The sheet states60-80%; misting 1×/day; shallow water dish
UVB
The sheet statesPhotoperiod 12 h; UVB 2–5% beneficial; not mandatory
Traceable. The figures above appear in the page we cite, which we opened on 10 Aug 2026. That means you can check them, not that we have confirmed they are right. amphibiancare.com
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 vertical for 4-6 individuals; branches, vines, tall plants; access to a small water area
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
- Very common and inexpensive native species: often offered WC; prefer CB for health and to reduce pressure on wild populations
- Unique foam nest among tree frogs: eggs are laid in a foam mass fixed to vegetation above water
- Ideal beginner species in Bangkok: robust, undemanding, available in local CB
- Very common and inexpensive native species — often offered WC; prefer CB for health and to reduce pressure on wild populations
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.

Questions & sources
Common questions
Is this the frog I hear at home in the rainy season?
Very likely, yes. It is a common local tree frog, and the males call loudly at night when it is humid.
Is it easy to keep?
Very. It is hardy, eats crickets readily, and only needs a tall tank with branches, a water dish and regular misting.
Can I keep several together?
Yes, they do fine in small groups as long as everyone is a similar size and there are enough perches.
Can I handle it?
Briefly, with clean wet hands, but it is fast and jumps hard. Do any handling over a closed container so it cannot escape.

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.
