HELP ASAP - Just found Cope's Gray Tree Frog & No Idea where to begin w/setting up new home.

kueluck's Album: The Gray Tree Frog Gang here's a link to my Cope's. I have 3 in one tank. "They" say they are fine alone, but mine usually hang out together, I think it's one of those save in numbers things. I raised them from tads last year. I feed mainly turkish roaches, my neighbor also feeds crickets once in awhile and silk worms. You want a high tank since they live in the trees, no special lighting since they are nocturnal. My tank stays any where from 65 at night to 85 during the day but averages at 76. Humidity runs 40 to 60%. Make sure you have a water dish for them to soak in and DO NOT use tap water that contains chlorine, I use clean rain water or spring water. I use moss on the bottom of the Exo Terra. You don't want them close to blowing air since this will dry them out quickly and have a hard time shedding then. When they shed they look like they are gasping for air or yawning and wipe themselves, pull the skin into their mouths and eat it. There are lots of people here with grays so you'll get lots of info. They are hardy little critters and they are a blast to have around.

Hi there, I can help you out, I have 1 female and 2 male Gray Tree Frogs.

A 10 gallon tank is fine for Gray Tree Frogs, you need to have some coco fiber substrate on the bottom and a water dish with de-chlorified water. These frogs like sticks and branches to climb on and fake leaves (these are chameleon-like frogs, can change color from gray to green). Temps, should be 78 degrees in the tank, spray two to three times a week.

Do you perhaps know how I can get another Cope's Gray, preferably a male? Privately owned pet store that we are very comfortable with told me they can't sell them here in SC so I'd have to either find another one or figure out some other way. I'd love for our new little girl to have a friend. We tried looking for more yesterday near the small creek in our backyard since it has been raining a lot here the past few days but they are so good at camoflauging themselves I don't know if we even got close to any. Any ideas?
