Breeding Green Tree Frogs (Whites tree frog)

[DC101]

Thanks Cheri, good advice.

Anyone else know about the cycling?

The way to tell male and female whites is the male whites have a darker chin and extra toe pads to grip the female i do believe. dont know about the cycles though.

I am glad you decided to go with green tree frogs as your first frog. Red eyes are fairly delicate and some beginner frog keepers have had a hard time with them being their first frogs. Green tree frogs are more hardy and probably less expensive so it would be easier to learn from those. Thats just my opinion though.

Another thing that seems to help is to time it with your rainy season. I'm not sure if frogs can sense the air pressure of storms but I have found it helps. Wait for a storm to roll in and then mist like crazy.

this is correct. from what i understand you have better chances of putting them inside a rain chamber when a storm is about to approach. and from what i was told by a very smart zoologist, frogs can sense when there is a storm. Mine seem to call more when there is a storm. Not sure about your frogs but Red eyes DO need a rain chamber. unless you mist them a ton and that might work in some cases if your lucky. but when you mist a ton you will have all the water in the bottom of your substrate and it might get messy. its easiest just to buy a pump and recirculate the water.

The males develop nubital pads during breeding season which help them grib the female when mating. there is a picture somewhere that someone posted. Im sure you can google it. take a look at the top of your own hands. not think about if your thumbs were missing and you just had 4 fingers. now imagine thats what a frog looks like. well right where your thumbs are, pads appear during mating season. thats the best way i can explain it lol
