1. Are Big Eyed Tree frogs the same as peacock frogs (mine seems to have a triangle on the back, like peacock frogs I think).?

Not 100% true. Big-eyed treefrogs are actually several species in the genus Leptopelis. Peacocks are Leptopelis vermiculatus and they are sometimes sold under the name big-eyed treefrogs, but so is L. flavomaculatus and L. uluguruensis.

Eric, your frog is either L. vermiculatus or L. flavomaculatus, I have a tough time telling the adults apart from each other. The problem with vermiculatus is that it loses its juvenile colours and markings as it matures. Too bad because they are stunning when they are young.

Kurt, thank you for the detailed message. I have googled a bit on it after your message and did see the green phase of that frog.

As for the care sheet, I've based myself on gray tree frogs for his terrarium. Hope that is alright.

And thank you Jenn. I completely agree, it's one cute frog.
