White's Treefrogs

Blog #18 (White's Treefrogs)

1. White's Treefrog Care Sheet

2. Reptiles Magazine Online, May 2014

3. I chose this article because I haven't done a blog on an amphibian yet and these little guys' eyes are huge!

4I love how the author introduced the tree frog. They described them as "smiley", "personable" and "chubby". These tree frogs are actually a very popular pet. Their genus is Litoria which contains 181 frog species in Australia.

5. I learned that White's Treefrogs are about 3-4 inches long and come in green or brown and sometimes jade or turquoise. Their eyes face forward and they have sticky toe pads instead of webs. They love hot enclosures with branches to perch and friends to play with. They also enjoy crickets in their diet and sometimes things like oranges and sweet potatoes to stick on.

6. No Questions-
