    Isn't he awesome. He'll love a nice planted home and plenty of perches.

    Just a heads up, if that is Sphagnum Moss as a top layer, I would either cover it with coco fiber or remove it and use coco fiber.

    Although it works well keeping humidity up, its an impaction hazard for frogs. If it gets into their mouth while eating, its swallowed since they don't pull things back out of their mouth and just swallow it.


    Thanks for sharing the pics and can't wait to see more.

    My frogs pull stuff out of their mouths the first locust Camo ate had some moss stuck on its leg and Camo grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out then ate the locust. Tim Tam got some dirt in her mouth when eating a fly yesterday and pulled that out.

    I do agree if it is Sphagnum moss it can cause impaction.

    Adorable frog ! Just curious, would a Flying Frog need a tank setup similar to a tree frog?

    bluebutterfly,
    Your new frogs are very nice. Very different ! Good luck with them.

    Their fingers and toes are webbed so when they are opened the frog can glide ( or fly ) from one tree to another. Like little parachutes.
    Handy little feet !
    I think, I'm not sure - they are from / India /Burma /Thailand ?

    bluebutterfly- When in captivity do they need extra space as compared to other tree frogs?
