Vietnamese Tree Frog
???scientific name???
- Description:
- This frog's color changes from light brown to dark brown. When the
frog is in a darker stage, it has light brown and tan speckles. The color markings of females range from white to darker brown w/stripes, depending on lighting. It has lage
toe-pads, and a hump in its back. Males also have variable color markings, but not as variable as that of the female.
- Habitat:
- A half and half or tall terrarium is recommended. They enjoy climbing
up the glass and sleeping like that. For the water part of the tank, about 2 inches of water works well. You can add some decorations to the tank, like a miniature waterfall,
frog moss on protruding rocks and pothos plants, as well as various driftwood.

section.
(see the Frog Doctor for details on illness prevention.)
- Diet:
- lots of crickets, and other bugs. See my page on Dealing with Crickets
for more info.
- Habits:
- This frogs call is very weird. It actually makes two different calls. The
first one, and the most commonly heard call sounds like a low-pitched clack.
The second, is a crackleing noise, its pitch is a little higher and louder than
the first.
