Theloderma corticale

I'm still amazed by these frogs. Just adorable!

What is their average size? Do they spend more time climbing or more time in the water? Or would you say evenly both?

Aww that is adorable!!! Love the tank!! I can't wait to get my vivarium where I want it.. It's gonna make my frogs so happy!! <3

Thanks a lot! I hope it'll turn out great for you!

Thanks!
They get quite large, I would say the average adult male is about 10 cm long, perhaps 9 or so. They get fairly robust though, not like a red eye, so the are not as slender. I do think they spend more time climbing, but since I'm usually not awake the entire night, I can't say for sure. Sleeping in the water seems to be extremely rare. However, you do see all of the frog in the water on an almost daily basis.

Thats a very nice tank you got there! And those frogs looks amazing. Are these common here in sweden? Have you found that female yet?

[ViperJr]

Yeah, they really are a remarkable species! Unfortunately, they are rather uncommon here in Sweden. No-one breeds them regularly, and when it do happens, most of the tadpoles turns out as males. For some unknown reason, the male/female-ration is incredibly skewed towards males. According to a (rather small) Swedish forum, there is a guy in Sweden that currently (accidentally :P) got tadpoles, but I do not know if he are selling the froglets or not.

And no, because of the reasons above, I have no female yet. My only shot is probably the next Hamm-expo, but it's not even guaranteed to find them there. At the latest Hamm-Expo(where I got the red eyes), there were only males for sale, not a single female. So, if you ever find a CB female, please, let me know!

It may be caused by high incubation temperatures. How warm do you keep them?

Excellent thread and pics of one of my favorite frogs; congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much! It's always nice to hear that it's appreciated

Sorry for the late reply, but like I said, I do not breed them myself, since I do not have a female (yet).

There will be a lot more pictures coming up tomorrow, if anyone is interested!

The pictures I promised is uploaded, I hope you'll enjoy them. Some of them are quite similar to each other, and the quality is varying, but you will all have to live with that
So, I hope you theloderma lovers out there get at least something nice to look at!




















Seems impossible to get all four of them in one photo, but here's three at least...
