Phyllomedusa tomopterna.. super tiger legs

My Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis is in a two gallon tank with abromeliad and a fake plant. He has a water bowl and the substrate is sphagnum moss over a false bottom. Thats about it.

You only keep it in a 2 gallon tank don't you think that is a little small emphisis on SMALL.

Its a very small frog. Its between 1.25 and 1.5 inches SV.

whoa now i want one. I don't have to get a large cage. Though i would go for a five gallon. Can they live in groups?

As far as I know they can.

Interesting

so i think you might be talking about he Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis. this is the smaller of the tigerlegs the supers are like red eye size F- 3insv M-2 1/2 sv and i personally thing a 2 gallon is too small for anything the smallest tank i have is a 10 gallon and i go up to a 125. but i like very spacious natural looking enclosures i feel it's only fair to them and the reg tiger legs are kept differently than the supers. these pics are NOT mine but just a representation of the 2 the one on the bark is a tomop and the one on the leaves is a hypochon

Yes, I was speaking of Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis.

Whoa that first picture is stunning. What is that and do they look like that in captivity?

The one on the left is Phyllomedusa tomopterna, the super tiger-legged monkey frog. Yes, they do look like that, but they are more expensive and less common than Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis

And bigger.

And bigger.

Another animal to add to my list of things (i doubt i will get them all ever)

I don't expect to completely get everything on my list. I don't think I would want to.

Why? Why would you not want to?

Can you imagine how big of a place it would have to be? And how much daily work there would be? I would have to hire people to help out.

True. But then you could turn it into a full fledged business.
