As soon as the front legs appear, the tadpoles are placed in angled containers with a water level of not more than 1 cm that lead to a "terrestrial" part of some brown leaves. When the metamorphs have eventually left the water, they can be housed in small terraria of maybe 20 x 30 cm. Froglets are initially dark brown with an indistinct light striped pattern.
Measuring between 9-11 mm in length, they are capable of managing Drosophila right away. Unfortunately, the offspring of wild-caught specimens with a lot of white in their pattern are usually much less attractive than their parents, as their light stripes are often much narrower. The reasons for this phenomenon are as yet unknown.
