Banana tree frogs?

[Strider18]

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.

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 !

Thanks everyone I'll have to contact them later today and ask. I will see what they say later today and post what they say

[Strider18]

Same care as any african reed frog (or really most tree frogs). Smaller frog, so smaller food items like small crickets and fruit flies. They are definitely collected. Not many out there breeding those guys

This is the first response they have, trying to find out more specifics atm.

Not Hyperolius but Afrixalus.

[Strider18]

Well, if these are indeed reed frogs then I will probably try to get red eyes instead, looking for something that likes high humidity and tropical conditions. If/when I get some I'll let everyone know

[Strider18]

I am just looking for something that is tropical, arboreal, and a tree frog
Pictures like this give me ideas

Too bad not one of the stripped Afrixalus sp.; those are neat !

[Strider18]

Very neat indeed! I should have a little more variety in my species kept because of my bday and Christmas
