Blue toe tree frog

[eric048]

Ok I wen to a reptile show today and picke up a male female pair of blue toes tree frogs what's the care o these guys I found little info on them, other than the fact that they live in Caribbean islands, so would a temp of 65-80F an humidity of 60-90% work? Anyone who's had them have any advice

Hi Eric,
Congrats !! They are very pretty ! I love their eyes.
Actually, they are specifically form the Dominican Republic.
Is someone actually breeding them? It's likey they are wild caught?

Were they together when you purchased them? If not, I'm sure you know; they need to stay separated,
and need a strict quarantine period. ( 6-8 weeks)
And of course do no put them anywhere near you other frog(s)
Wash you hands well between viv to viv. keep soaking dishes, plants and decorations strictly separated!

Here is a little information ( you may have seen)
It looks like they are commonly found near streams? They would probably like to hear water and have a nice rock to sit on.

I would love to follow how things go. How about a ' Blue Toed Thread ' !

When I get a chance( this AM) I will search past issues of "Tree Walkers' to see if I can find more info for you !!! I will have to re-type the information, as it is provided after making a donation. I have promised not to share the link to the original information. I keep my promises !!!!!!! I'm sure any tree frog owner would enjoy this, though! Especially the photography !

the skinny male passed away, I called the guy and he told me to stop by the show today and he would do either a refund or a swap. the female (i presume to be becuase shes bigger) seems to be doing fine, she stays near the top of the tank and jumps from time to time, are these diurnal frogs?

Just a thought:
Get the refund, do some actual research about them, and try again later.

Sorry for your loss.

the other one died yesterday, I got two red eyes in exchange for the blue toes, I now have four red eyes, the two new ones are a lil bigger than my male but not as big as my female.

They came in the same tank so I have them quarantined in the same tank, in a few weeks I will move them to my 40g red eye viv

Hi Eric,
I'm glad everything worked out! I'm so glad to read this!
Your new red eyes should be quarantined for a minimum of 6 weeks.( If wild caught- even longer. )
Dampened paper towel, a small pothos branch, ( just place the cut end of the pothos branch in the water dish-and it will not die)
and shallow water dish in the bottom of the quarantine tank is a great way to monitor food intake.
A simple 5 gallon fish tank w. a cover is fine ( less that $10)
You might dust more than a few times a week for 2 weeks or so to boost their health.
If the frogs are small - use small crickets- to make dinner an easy catch !!
Can't wait to see pictures !!!!!!

I have them in an exo terra 12x12x18 with some plastic broadleaf plants and a largeish water dish, glass bowl method for feeding.

Word of the wise, you should never do buisness with any place, that an animal dies days later. They prolly have parasites. This happened to me too and they wanted to give me a new one like it was a pair of shoes!!!! I would take them to a vet ASAP to get tested for any diseases. And I would file a complaint against them! These reptile shows should be banned. They do not take proper care of these animals and just pluck them from the wild! Do your research before you get any animal. Sorry for the loss of the two babies
