    Default Banana tree frogs?

    Ok, on LLLReptile I found these Banana Tree Frogs and I could not find any care on them. I found something online that said they were a type of reed frog but I wasn't sure Anyone know the general care for these?

    If you can some how find out the scientific name than that would help on getting information on them. Doubt LLL even knows it though.

    The pic on their website looks like golden tree frog that is also called banana tree frog Polypedates leucomystax


    Based on the price it is WC, meaning you are looking into long expensive quarantine and vet help.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    I know see that it isn't captive bred but I would be ok with that for now. Hyperolius sp is what species they call it so im not sure, it says that Hyperolius are reed frogs and if this is indeed a reed frog what would the humidity requirements be?

    The genus Hyperolius is pretty large which makes ID challenging. Also; the frog could be misidentified; since Lija's ID as Polypedates leucomystax matches LLL photo too. Myself would contact LLL and ask them how are they caring for the frog and what is it eating. Also, see if they know collection location, since that can help ID process. Thank you !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
