New White's.

I finally gave in. I've been looking at this white's dumpy tree frog at Pet World for a little over two weeks and finally gave in and bought him yesterday. It's considerably larger than my other two month old ones. When I took him out of the pet carrier they gave me to take him home in, he was jumping all over the place, and is either very aggressive or territorial, or even scared. When I open the door to his cage, he pees and puffs up to intimidate me I suppose. Anyways, he ate right when I put him in his new home. So that's a good sign, I'm just concerned about how aggressive he is. Maybe it's because of the move? Or change in scenery? I don't know. Anyways, here he is.

Hi Nate, Very nice frog. Im so jealous. He looks like he's settled in just fine. The fact that he ate straight away shows that as well. He would have been stressed from the trip home and the new environment so he/she acted quite normal. Is he/she in an enclosure by himself? Also what is the size difference between your existing frogs?

my chubby frog puffs and pees and "hisses" at me when i open its cage your frog is probably just nervous about the change or something, mine on the other hand is just a grumpy little thing!

very nice looking frog

Do you have other pictures of this new frog? Because he really looks like a white-lipped treefrog, Litoria infrafrenata to me and not a White's treefrog, Litoria caerulea.

I second this. He does not look like Litoria caerulea.

I was wondering the same thing. They had a white lipped tree frog at the store, as well as this guy. He was labeled "White's Dumpy Tree Frog" and was housed in a separate terrarium. I asked the people at the pet store how long they had him for, and if it really was a white's, and they assured me it was. Though I questioned it.

I'll work on getting different angled pictures. He doesn't move all that often from that perch he's on which is pictured.

Ebony: He could easily eat my pre-existing white's. He's a good 3-4x larger than my other Titan and his brother. Lol

[Skulldroog]

Yes, he's in his own 12x12x18 terrarium. Lucky fella.

That is EXACTLY what I thought when I saw the pictures...I don't think that is a Whites Tree Frog!

[Skulldroog]

Few more pictures to ID my new frog..

[Kurt]

Without a doubt Litoria infrafrenata. Do not mix with your White's, L. caerulea.

[Skulldroog]

Yeah. After closer observation, I've come to the conclusion that PetWorld didn't know what they were doing when they labeled this guy. Looks like I own a white lipped tree frog now. Quite a large one at that.

Oh well, we shall see if it simmers down a bit more. Still quite anti-social and aggressive whenever I open the cage.

They have a tendency to be a lot more skittish then White's.
