Big Eyed Tree Frogs

[Scott Morgan]

I just brought them home tonight. I am still researching specific specie information now. I could only find 2 though. I will bring the 3rd home Wednesday when I can dig it out.

I believe (pretty sure but not 100%) that these were imports from Tanzania.

One (the larger of the two) is already calling. The smaller one is emerald green while the larger is brown with green mottling.


The humidity in the tank was nearly 80% but they still stayed burrowed in the moss at the store. Possibly the bottom of the moss was slightly warmer then the top section.

Either way I will update as needed once I find some answers through either research or experience.

Hi there,
I have 2 of these guys and I've found the more sub, the more burrowing. Less sub=less burrowing. One of mine likes to climb at night, so I'd suggest a tall tank. They also love soaking in their water dish! I've even seen experienced big-eyed owners use paper towels for substrate to encourage the frogs to explore their enclosure more. One last thing: mine enjoy sleeping in vine-like plants on the walls of their tank. Best of luck, hope you enjoy these frogs as much as I do!
