Empty large exo terra...

Reds are not active at all during the day. They hunker down as soon as the lights come on and change color to a lighter green to blend in with the plant life and hide.

I have a convict tree frog since almost two months. He sleeps at day, as already mentioned. At night he gets active, which means he is still not moving much, rather sitting somewhere and observing his environment. I can look at him with a torch for some seconds, when light is on too long he will go back in sleeping posture. Its a very calm frog and an enthusiastic eater, eats crickets, woodlice and small roaches. Acclimatization to captive condition was (in my case) without problems, but its always a risk with WC.

Basic care is similar to Red eyed tree frogs.

At the moment hes still in Quarantine, the behaviour might change when he comes into his final enclosure. It will also be a 60*40*60 cm ExoTerra.

Females might be hard to get, I'm hoping to get one some day... Localities should better not be mixed for breeding attempts, since H. calcaratus is member of a cryptic species complex.
