Handling White's tree frogs

[kueluck]

As long as your hands are clean and free from oils and other contaminates. And you mist them with frog save water so your hands are moist I see no issue. Now I'm NOT condoning handling them like you would a puppy or kitten, but if you're looking to have them rest on your hand for a few minutes, knock yourself out. When mine are in the palm of the hand I'll spray a little water and they'll hunker down into the warmth of my hand, tilt their head to the side as if to say "ahhhhh". I do handle every frog, toad and snake a day and check them out with a magnifying glass. Now if they are stressed and are trying to escape from you or pee as soon as you hold them, then by all means leave them alone, no need to stress out your buddies.

I believe it's ok to hold your White's Tree Frogs. They seem to be a nice docile species. People just need to wash their hands and be careful. A friend of mine owns one, and she told me they are AWESOME with kids. Sometimes they even know when you bring out the crickets and wait for you. They have also been seen watching pets with interest. They are a totally ok species to handle.
