When I was 15 years old I came across a woman at the mall in a nature wonders store. She had a whites tree frog with her. It was love at first site. I wanted one! My parents thought I was nuts, but my brother who I am close with was leaving for boot camp and my parents felt bad so we went to a reptile place in Florida that was open only one Saturday a month. They got a shipment in of whites that was not ready but he had a little box with 5 ones healthy enough to be taken home. He opened it, Hetfield was the only one that was sleeping and opened his eyes and looked right at me. That's how I found my soulmate he was a learning curve all the way. I learned how important calcium was when I had to take him to the vet with tremors happening all over his legs and his arms/legs cramped up bad. Other than that I had my het for over 15 years until june 4, 2012. He was a little older than16 years old I didn't get him as a froglet. Now I have Lucy, she is about a year or so that I know of still learning about her. I got her from a pet store, she had been there for a long time, to the point they put her on clearance! I couldn't stand to see her crammed in this little tank with other new whites and a pacman frog! So thats how i got her. She has been my biggest learning curve. Right now she is this problem with her head tilting to one side. She eats like a crazy girl, Hetfield was a lot more slower and not as aggressive haha, it's been funny to see the differences.
I have only had whites tree frogs I came across this site looking for issues with Hetfield, he wasn't eating at the time and I was looking for people that owned frogs that could maybe help. I found so much more from this site, great ideas for enclosure set ups, different healing treatments. This place has been a life saver and just been a great place to meet crazy frog lovers like myself
