2 tree frogs I'd like

[Eric Walker]

I wouldn't recomend tcr for frog advice. there specialty is snakes and monitors. They seem to know nothing about proper husbandry of frogs. I use to sell them a fewfrogs here and there but never again. the bicolor you most likely won't find. They only came in a few times and iv never seen or heard of them being cb. But you in luck because the only noticeable difference between bicolor and corticale is bicolor have a yellowish belly and corticale don't. yes i ment airflow. But they seem to like a bit of current too. Not alot. I would regulary catch them sitting right in front of the outlet for my filter using the current to help pull away skin shed. Im not sure of the model # or gallons/min but just a standard fluval brand is what i was using. the cork raft for feeding presents one problem. These guys are aggressive eaters and one lunge at a cricket on The cork is going to send the rest jumping. Iv seen them pick crickets off the surface but not often and only one or two. also i want to point out the entire genus of theloderma are called mossy frogs. Also warty frogs and paddle leg frogs. the care for the entire genus is pretty much identical.


Sorry for any poor spelling and punctuation. My phone is a royal pain to type on.

It appears the photo in your link is corticale not bicolor. I see no yellow in the chest area which i would expect even with as little is visible. Also their talk of being able to sex them makes me laugh. These are notoriously one of the hardest frogs to do so with as there is no real size difference, females have been know to vocalize , nuptial pads are only present when breeding, and to top it off males will go into amplexus with other males quite frequently. They will lock up with the first frog theycan grab. Also their cb sex ratios have been known to be somewhere around 25:1 being male heavy which makes provin females go for around 250$ each. All this is why you don't see tons of people breeding them. They are.not.difficult to breed once you have a pair and a propper setup.

I'm not really concerned with the sex or breeding so that's not a problem. I did notice, after more searching, that there seems to be lots of cross over in the images when you search the species name so I guess everyone else can't figure it out either, lol. If I use a big enough cage I can use a flat cork sheet from a hobby store for a raft which should actually support the frog for the most part. They can't be that heavy. Or I can just do a custom cage, install a floor drain, and do a rock island in the middle.
