White's, Green and Red Eyed... what's the difference?

[LizardMama]

I keep seeing pet stores have all three of these frogs and was wondering what's the difference between them (beside's that the Red Eyed Tree Frog has red eyes and beside's that the Green Tree Frog can come in more than just the shade of green).

What do you mean "what's the difference"? I'm not sure what you're asking for, but they're different species of frogs. The three of them are not even the same genus. They all live in different places of the world and have different needs in terms of terrarium. The only thing they have in common is that they're tree frogs, the family Hylidae. Basically it's like asking what's the difference between 3 different species of dogs, I guess. Could you elaborate a little more in what you want to know?

Red eyed tree frog - Agalychnis callidryas
American green tree frog - Hyla cinerea
White's tree frog - Litoria caerulea

You might want to read their respective care sheets:

Frog Forum - Red-Eyed Leaf Frog/Red Eyed Tree Frog Care - Agalychnis callidryas

Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea

Sometimes "Green Treefrog" can mean "Australian Green Treefrog", Litoria caerulea, which is the same as a White's, or it can mean the smaller "American Green Treefrog", Hyla cinerea. We don't have a care sheet for a Hyla cinerea, but you can keep them like the similar sized (but stockier) Gray Tree Frog:

All these are deffrent types of tree frogs, The whites are more common then the ones on this list. Whites are also more easy to keep.These list is not avelable in petco,or petsmart. Only whites and green tree frogs are.

" Whites are also more easy to keep."

All three of the species the op mentioned are easy to keep.

Set up a proper terrarium, maintain the correct temps and humidity, and feed them a balanced diet and they all will provide you years of enjoyment.

American green tree frog - Hyla cinerea
White's tree frog - Litoria caerulea

I was mainly talking about cage requirements, are the all nocturnal, and life expectancy, a lot of pet stores don't carry that, the ones down here have them listed as all related which brought the question to mind.

Like Brian said, there are some great articles here on Frog Forum about these frogs. If you want more information, just google "frogspecies care sheet" and you'll find more than enough.

Martin, unfortunately your comparing of this question to asking about different species of dogs is not a very good one because different types of dogs are all breeds of the same species, Canis lupus familiaris.
