Hi, welcome to the group!

Yes, those are White-Lipped tree frogs (Litoria infrafrenata) to the best of my knowledge. The best way to determine the sex, other than by hearing the males croak, is by looking for pads on the inside of the thumbs. Only males have the pads, and these darken during the breeding season.

Here is an example of thumb pads on a male White's tree frog, which is a related species:


Here is a care sheet for White-Lipped tree frogs: http://frogs.org.au/x/media/cs-infrafrenata.pdf

I would suggest medicating the raw nose spots on your frogs with an antiseptic ointment with NO pain killer in it (pain killer will kill frogs!).

Good luck with them!

thnks irThumper that very helpful,
and then can we crossbreed with other tree frog?

[elly]

I searched for information about crossbreeding White's and White-Lipped but I didn't find anything. If they could breed there would probably be pictures of crossbred half-White's half-White-Lipped frogs. I may be wrong but I don't think it's possible. Also, breeding the same species can be difficult sometimes in captivity. Breeding two different species would probably be more difficult. Even if it worked the eggs might not grow.

[irThumper]

I agree with Elly. Just because species are similar doesn't mean they can, or will, interbreed. Litoria infrafrenata (White-Lipped) and Litoria caerulea (White's tree frog) have different needs, even though they overlap territory some in the wild, and are just different enough to where crossbreeding is very highly unlikely. In captivity it is not even recommended that different species be kept in the same enclosure together, much less make an attempt to interbreed them.

wow thnks,
so gladly hear about a info.

and then this species same with u'r sheila irThumper? if not same what sp this is?

[irThumper]

These are White's tree frogs, Lotoria caerulea Are they the ones found in your land? My frogs are either Australian variety White's tree frogs or a cross between the Indonesian and Australian White's. Same exact species, just from different countries and look a bit different The ones from your country are more often that bright vivid green while Australian White's tree frogs have more of a blue tint

[VictorHo]

yes from Indonesia "Java"
thnks for the sp name .



and i just buy a new sp lolz.
Rhacophorus Reinwardtii right?

do you have a link how to breed this?

[elly]

There was a typing mistake, it should have been "Litoria Caerulea"
Here's a PDF on care and breeding the Rhacophorus: http://amphibianark.org/pipermail/ne...hment-0001.pdf

thnks elly for the help u'r so cute

and can u give me a link how to make a great enclosure for a tree frog home?

[elly]

I have never tried to breed frogs myself, I've just been studying it in case I get the chance someday. I would like to try it with Gray tree frogs. (Hyla Versicolor).

Oops! I did make a typo, thanks for catching that, Elly!

[VictorHo]

i thing she's gonna die, and i cant do anything halz.

[irThumper]

Sorry to hear that They did look really thin, but as I was not familiar with that species I wasn't sure what was "normal" for them. You should start a brand new post asking for help with this. Hope you can get some help for your female!
