My name is Sarah and I am new here and I was curious if anyone new at what age a peacock tree frog turns brown? I adopted her from a friend and I have no idea what age she is all I know is when I got her she was in the process of turning brown but she wasn't the green color anymore the start out with.

Hi Sarah and welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Peacock Treefrogs so I cannot help you with your question but I am sure there is someone on the Forum who will be able to. Thanks for joining!

Could you please select your country for display purposes? Thank you!

Ok thank you and I will be sure to do that. She is also known as a big eyed tree frog hope that helps. I just found out that they start off a green color.

Thanx everyone. So my specific tree frog was never green? I am a little confused.

The peacock tree frog or vermiculated tree frog (Leptopelis vermiculatus) is one of the largest tree frogs in Africa. Males reach just under 2 inches and females are larger at about 3.5 inches. They are native to the east African nation of Tanzania. There are two basic patterns: green and brown. Green-backed individuals have dark vermiculations (spots), the sides being marked with a marbling of white and back. Brown-backed individuals have a darker-brown irregular triangle shape on the back ( the "point" facing forward). There are also some frogs with an olive-green pattern lined in black. A dark patch between the eyes. The belly is creamy white with a brown tinge. Juveniles are enamel green with black spots.

General tree frog care. 20-gallon vivarium with plenty of plants to climb on. Males are generally not territorial, so they can co-exist together. Medium to large crickets for adults, dust with calcium 1x week, feed 1 or 2 crix 3x week. UVB lamp recommended 13 hours on. Temp 85 day, 70 night, 90% humidity.

Good luck
