Chiromantis xerampelina

[tgampper]

Chiromantis xerampelina, a native of southern Africa belongs to a family of foam-nesting frogs known as Rhacophoridae. They are tree climbers, so a tall aquarium is a must. Make sure you have plenty of robust plants for them to climb on. They prefer lower humidity and higher temperatures than the average frog. You will need to establish a basking area with a 60 watt spot. Provide a small water dish and mist the terrarium daily in the evening, this should provide sufficient humidity. Other than that, the rest is easy. They are known locally as foam nest frog, grey tree frog, southern foam nest tree frog, or great African gray tree frog.

Some notes on natural history - this frog is a master of survival in the hot, dry African savanna. The frog conserves water by folding its legs in a way to minimize body exposure to the sun. It is also uricotelic, which means that it excretes uric acid, a way to concentrate wastes and conserve water. The frog is often seen basking in the sun where ambient temperatures may exceed 102 degrees (F). The frog's blood is able to carry oxygen at high temperatures. Males are not territorial and not aggressive towards each other. Males are smaller than females and have white nuptial pads on two fingers.

That is excellent!
I figured being from afica they wouldnt be too hard to keep track of. The basking light I hadn't heard before though. Thanks so much!
