American GTF and Squirrel TF

'Allright, well I do appreciate your imput. I just didn't want another tank lol. I have a 18x24 mossy tree frog tank, a 20 and 10 gallon bullfrog tank, 18x18 whites tank and an 18x18 American Green Tree Frog tank, 12x18 Red-Eyed Leaf Frog tank, and a 60 gallon fish aquarium....Too many tanks.

I totally get you. In all transparency, the guys I'm talking about our the team at one of the only pet shop I go to and they simply stopped housing them together when the size difference was too big because of cannibalistic behavior.

Tony, Kurt or other tree frog keepers could give you more input...

While I haven't kept either species (illegal here in OR), they do occur together in nature and are similar enough in size that I suspect they would make a fairly safe pairing.

AGTF's are illegal in OR? That's crazy lol.

AGTF's are illegal in OR? That's crazy lol.

Most native US amphibians are illegal here due to their invasive potential, real or perceived.

Tony and other tree frogs owners, I'd like to start another thread on the sizes of some tree frogs. From what I have read on STF's size (1.5 inches), and what Tony describes as a GTF small size difference, it doesn't correlate with my Hyla cinerea and the ones kept in pet shops in Montreal, and I feel by this post we are either importing over-sized monsters or breeding them on potent steroids....

This is interesting. All of my AGTFs are not that big in size and they are adults. The ones we have here at the NC Zoo are huge, pretty much the same size as the whites tree frogs that they house them with. Not only are they as long as the Whites but also as fat as the whites. Of course all of my AGTFs are wild caught as they have just expanded their territory in recent years into the piedmont area of NC. (I have fun tracking them down). I'm not sure if that makes any difference though.
