Great advice, friendly people, and lots of frogs!
I'd like to purchase a male & female or just a male if possible. We've got a little girl right now and would like to mate them. Please let me know when they will be ready. And please tell me you ship.

I contacted Rainforest Junky. Although they will be there, they don't have any Tiger Leg Monkey Tree frogs available. I work at a local pet store in Buffalo, NY and have not been able to find TLMTF anywhere. I recently also purchased a Mint Phyllobates terribilis. The little guy is awesome :-)
Here is a few care sheets I linked at the bottom.. Research a few more by going to Google and typing in "Cope's grey tree frog care". Not every care sheet is the same and not every sheet is accurate so I suggest reading as many as you can and comparing them to one another. By doing this you should be able to come up with an ideal temperature and humidity. I hope this helps. I've personally never cared for these. They're tree frogs so a tank where they can climb up is a great choice. Not sure about temperature or humidity those sheets I linked should have that information. In my opinion I would use Eco-earth or bed-a-beast ( it is grounded up coconuts, it comes in either bricks that you soak in a bucket and break up or already shredded in a bag! Should be sold at almost every pet shop) This will keep the tank moist, you only need to put an inch if that of the coco-fiber on the bottom of the tank. You can keep the frog alone, She will be fine alone. Do NOT use tap water you must use spring water or water that has been conditioned with a dechlorinating drops, they do sell water that is safe for your frog at most pet stores. You should have a soaking dish for the frog not too deep though the frog could drown, but enough for him/her to soak in. You do need to get calcium/vitamins for her. There are many brands out there. I use rep-cal calcium with vitamin D3. And the multivitamin by the same brand rep-cal. Do not over dust the food items. For the calcium I would dust every other day or every 3 days and the multivitamin I would dust the food items once a week. Over dusting could lead to over-dosing. You should put some decor in the tank such as fake plants and sticks. As far as a aquarium a 10 gallon could house this frog. Put some kind of background on the tank to make the frog seem more secure and safe. Like the fish backgrounds they sell or you could just use construction paper and cover three sides of the tank. I wouldn't keep the tank in the same room as the AC. Frogs are sensitive to temperature change and the AC could make the temps too low. To see what the temperatures are in your tank you should buy some kind of gauge that reads the temperature same with the humidity. For future reference do not use heat rocks they are very dangerous for your animals. hmm Not sure what else. Its pretty late here I think my brain is falling alseep I hope this helps you with your situation! If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

went to one of the cleveland shows about 2 months ago. maybe 5 froglettes. all the hard goods cost more than they could be bought at a local pet store. however i did see that a frog vendor that wasn't there before, is planning on being there.
I have no idea about the Reptile Show, but if you cannot find any places for tiger legs and do not want to drive you can order them off this website Rainforest Junky's - Home
IOP most of these places are awful! Most of the animals are sick. I went to two different ones in Texas and was very disappointed!
they are about 4 months old . and thank you so much !
You have very lovely critters! Your Pacmans are adorable! How old are they?
hmm well he may be aproaching his time . I wish i had more helpfull information thought i would drop something in here to let ya know people are thinkin about it .
nice frog picture!
I wish you had some picsof those vivariums from NATO ! they sound amazing! I have yet to have a dart frog and have not researched them much yet ... YET haha im sure we will have some in the future me and my wife. She always stoped and gazes at them at the reptile section at the store! Anyways where can look at your creations? and thank you for posting
I think i want to do a growth photo thing for my pacmans they are 1 and 1 1/2 inchers.
I bought it last March at aquarium of Genoa. It's beautiful, isn't it?
I want one!
I would believe the care would be similar to Epipedobates trivittatus. Hate to send you to another board but a care sheet can be found here: http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/car...ermediate.html
I hand feed all of his food. I use tweezers to get the wax worms and the red wigglers in front of his face and wiggle them a little to get him to lunge. When I feed crickets I do it one at a time and herd them towards him. I don't usually leave food in there because I want to know exactly how much he's eating.
Right on do you put the wax worms in a bowl or just let em run about>?
I put live plants in my habitat and my pacman frog seems to really appreciate them. He likes to burrow down in the shade of the Pothos leaves. It looks really nice too. I have areas of shallow substrate that build up to mounds around the plant pots (I keep the plants in plastic pots for easier cleaning and so he can't uproot them). I also got a hermit crab climbing wall for a background. I think it's just tightly weaved coconut husk or something. It retains moisture well which helps with humidity and it looks nice. 75 degrees is a little cool during the day. From what I've read 80 degrees is better for during the day. I use a low wattage incandescent bulb to boost my temp up to 80. I have to mist more often during the day due to the bulb drying out the substrate though. My humidity during the day hovers around 60-70% and stays around 80% at night without the light on. As far as feeding goes, from what I've learned in the month that I've had my pac, they will accept a variety of food. He eats wax worms, red wigglers and crickets. He prefers wax worms but they're high in fat so he only gets them once a week. All I really know about vocalizations is that males and females both will bark and make small noises when agitated but only the males will croak. From what I've read on other user's posts, if you play a mating call clip from youtube their males will respond. You could try this. Would you believe that all this info is stuff I've learned just in the past month from reading the forums and from having my frog just a month? This website is a wealth of knowledge
Yes, The tads did not make it in the mail so I'm not sure what happened it was very disappointing though!
