Hi, I am looking for information on the Tanzanian tiger-legged tree frog. I have found one at work, in the receiving area and would love any care tips.
Thanks Tessy
The frog that I have has a gray body with black spots, white belly and the legs have orange & black stripes.
Great guess, Seth!
Kassina maculata is a member of the Family Hyperoliidae, closely related to the African reed frogs. Their range is from Kenya to South Africa. One note of caution, these frogs pack some potent toxins that can harm most mammals that try to eat it or even taste the skin. Keep it secure and thoroughly wash your hands after handling. That live about 5 years and are known to be cannibalistic (eating smaller frogs, such as reeds.)
Here is a caresheet:
