Crowned Tree Frog - Triprion spinosus (Captive Bred)

Temperature (°F): They can tolerate temperatures between 70-80° and seem very tolerant of temperature swings. Ideally, keep Crowned Tree Frogs in the mid/high 70s. A 5 to 10 degree temperature drop at night is ideal.
 
Humidity: In the wild, precipitation and humidity fluctuates based on season, with a heavy rainy season in the early part of the year. Adult Crowned Tree Frogs can handle a wide range of humidity levels, but prefer humidity levels around 50-70% with plenty of ventilation/air movement. Young Crowned Tree Frogs do much better with 70-80% humidity, and some air movement. Moist, stagnant air is a big no-no with Crowned Tree frogs, while very young animals dry out easily. Routine spraying and a full screen top will aid in providing proper humidity levels. Some keepers elect to keep Crowned Tree Frogs over water to aid in maintaining humidity.
 
Size: Adult Crowned Tree frogs can measure from 2 to 3 inches, with females being larger than males. Crowned Tree Frogs will continue to grow throughout their lives, and older animals can be quite large.
 
Age: Captive life span of the Crowned Tree Frog is unknown, but suspected to be in the 10-15 year range, based on experience with similar species
 
Feeding: Crowned Tree Frogs are voracious eaters, consuming anything that moves and fits into their mouth. Adult Crowned Tree Frogs will readily eat 3/4 inch crickets. Add other feeder insects such as wax worms, roaches, horn worms, and meal worms. All feeder insects should be dusted with the proper vitamin/mineral supplement.
