Hello!

I have a question that I need a bit of help with.


Species - Whites Tree frog.

I constantly see Whites Tree Frogs on YouTube and Instagram who are extremely active such as biting fingers and eating crickets from tweezers. However I feel like mine is very calm and "chill". I want to make sure this is normal behavior as he does have me a bit worried.

He lives in a 10 gallon tank solo (upgrading soon, he had issues initially with eating when I got him.)

He has no lights or heating yet due to my house being at the min at 77 F right now. He's getting a light/mat soon due to the winter months however. In the summer our house is between 77-80 F.

Humidity is 50 but he has spikes to 70. I keep a towel on top to help humidity stay.

He has a big water bowl (spring water by ArrowHead. He is also misted with the same water)

Climbing branches, a bromilad, and two fake plants reside in his tank as well.

He will hunt at night but is a bit clumsy and it takes him awhile to catch one.

Stool is large (which means he is eating at night) and the correct consistency.

He's perfectly happy chilling on me (when we do cage cleanings) and will hop to a higher vantage point.

He also sheds fine as I find shed/skin in his water.


Is this normal behavior or am I missing something? I've never owned frogs/amphibians so I'm a very concerned from mom as you can see lol.
