    Default Adopted a crew of TF's...I got questions

    Well, some of you may remember the 60 gallon hex terrarium I did recently. A local on CL had a Whites tree frog for sale along with 2 African tree frogs. I got all 3 frogs, a 20 gallon tank, some misc. wood, a light, a timer power switch, and other nick nacks for $30. The Whites Tree Frog is freakin huge!!! He's so fat. The other 2 frogs are the ones that come into question...

    The Africans both look just like a Whites Tree Frog to me but they are a little bit smaller than the Whites.

    Heres the tank



    Here is the Whites Tree Frog:







    Heres the Africans:







    They look so similar but I haven't heard of an African tree frog yet. Just wanted to be certain because the mixed species "no no"

    Thanks for any help!

    Whites do get pretty big :-)

    As for African.... not sure here since I find no reference to an African Tree Frog that looks just like a Whites. Just looks like another smaller Whites to me.
    I hope someone more experienced with this will jump in and ID it for you.

    I took a couple more pics to see if someone can chime in for some identification









    They look like a WTF to me....but the lady that sold them said that they were African tree frogs

    Those are all Whites tree frogs. Maybe the lady is confused. Whites do come from Australia and Indonesia. Maybe she has her A's mixed up. Its Craigslist....doesn't make her an expert.

    Thanks for the confirmation Cheri. I had a feeling that they were wtf's. I couldn't help but be confused by the seller saying they were something else

    Well, all 4 of my wtf's are in the tank now and settling in well. I'm going to have to up my food source quite a bit now. I'm considering using that 20 gallon tank to raise my own crickets
