We have him in a glass tank which, has a partially perspex but mostly mesh lid. We have rocks, logs etc and water in the bottom and I have now got some water plants, Lilly, rush? and a few others. We originally had him outside, but now have him inside. I keep the blinds shut during the day as it gets really hot inside, is this the best thing to do or will he be okay with the blinds open?? I worry that it may get to hot inside the tank. I also read somewhere that they may change colour during breeding season - could this be the cause of his dark coloring? Or is he sick?? We feed him a diet of approx five flies per day, sometimes crickets. Is this correct???
Loren, one of our moderators, Ebony, has green and gold bell frogs. She should be able to answer your questions.
