Setup
The numbers
Temperature
One ambient band, 24–28°C, dropping to 22–24°C at night. Same scale on every sheet here, so two species compare by eye.
The sheet states24-28 °C day; 22-24 °C night; tolerance 22-30 °C
Humidity
The sheet states60-80% (ventilation needed); peaks at 90% after misting; misting 1-2×/day
UVB
The sheet statesUVB 2–5% beneficial; photoperiod 12 h
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. frogfather.co.uk
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 2-3 individuals; high branches; artificial tree hole or PVC for spawning site; 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
- Milky-white and very adhesive skin secretion under stress: defence against predators; no toxicity to humans but irritating to eyes
- Breeds exclusively in tree holes in the canopy: installation of a hollow trunk or vertical PVC hide as spawning site is essential
- Juveniles display a brown-white livery very different from adults (grey-blue banded): reassure buyers about the colour change

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
How big do they get?
Large for a tree frog, comfortably filling your hand as an adult, so plan on a tall roomy tank with sturdy branches.
Is it loud?
Males have a deep resonant call that carries through a house. Very impressive, but not ideal next to where you sleep.
Why did it go all white and sticky when I picked it up?
That is a stress secretion. It is not dangerous but it is a clear sign to put the frog down, and you should wash your hands.
Do they need a water area?
Yes, a decent water container up in the tank suits them, since in the wild they breed in water-filled tree holes.

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.
