I've decided what tree frog I'll be getting! :D

[Poly]

I've been slowly buying all the materials to set-up my 50 gallon upright tree frog vivarium when my buget permits... and well, I finally decided what frog I'm getting...

Here's the list I had to choose from:
Banana Tree Frog (Hyperolius Formasini) $18.00
Barking Tree Frog (Hyla Gratiosa) $30.00
Big Eyed Tree Frog (Leptopelis Vericulatus) $35.00
Cuban Tree Frog $15.00
European Tree Frog (Hyla Arborea) $23.00
Golden Tree Frog (Rhacophorus leucomystax) $18.00
Green Tree Frog (Hyla Cinerea) $8.75 Special Price!
Red Eye Tree Frog (Agalychnis Calidryas) $50.00 F
Reticulated Tree Frog (Kassina Maculata) $20.00
White Lip Tree Frog $35.00
Whites Tree Frog (Litoria Caerulea) – Blue Phase $40.00 CB

Which do you think I chose? I'll give you a hint, it's not the Red-Eyed Tree Frog...

~Royce... hehe...

[DonLisk]

My guess would be the Reticulated Tree Frog (Kassina Maculata).

[flybyferns]

My guess is :
Barking Tree Frog (Hyla Gratiosa)

[Pega]

My golden tree frog is the best! But I also had a green tree frog once. He was AWESOME. So I vote for both. Yes, I am cheating.

Okay, 3 replies, time to reveal the answer!

Once I seen one of these... that was it...


Whites Tree Frog (Litoria Caerulea) – Blue Phase!

[DonLisk]

You'll love them. Active and entertaining.

[Heatheranne]

That's a pretty frog .

[ViperJr]

You're chosing among all these amazing tree frogs, and then you eventually settle on White's? You disappoint me, Royce

I sure love it's colour! I thought they were nocturnal?

Haha, I know eh? It has amazing colour!

I know, I know! But I couldn't get the blue phase before, and now that I can, well their just soo cute!

And, hey, if I have a good experience with my first tree frogs... who's to say I'm not going to get taller and bigger display cases for some Red-Eyed Leaf Frog's?

This is just the beggining for me, my friend!

Nocturnal does not mean inactive. From what I've heard, they are very active, just not at day-time

I hope you're right! We need more elegant frogs, not more of them fatty ones!

[frogluver]

Ah, the white's tree frog......you gotta love them lol !! Great choice!!

[Kurt]

I would've gone for the gratiosa. They are just as cool and not everybody and their brother has them. I once saw them at a show calling from the deli cups with hundreds of people passing by. Blew me away! My second choice would have been Litoria infrafrenata, the white-lipped or giant treefrog.

Just for the record, Kassina are not arboreal. They are more terrestrial/fossorial than they would be arboreal.

Also, leucomystax is in the genus Polypedates, not Rhacophorus.

OK my inner science geek has said enough.
