White-Lipped Tree Frog
Temperature (°F): White-lipped Tree Frogs can tolerate a wide range of temperatures—keep your frogs between 72 and 80°F. Nighttime drops down into the 60s is fine, and even encouraged if you are trying to breed these tree frogs.
Humidity: White-Lipped Tree Frogs are less tolerant of lower humidity ranges like their White’s tree frog cousins. Aim for an average humidity of 50% or so, with spikes up to 70% right after misting once or twice a day. Providing ventilation is very important—we recommend using at least a half screen top. Stagnant, humid conditions quickly lead to bacterial skin infections in White's Tree Frogs. A large dish of clean water should always be provided. Monitor humidity with a digital hygrometer.
Size: The adult size of the white-lipped tree frog is 4-5.5 inches, where females tend to be larger than males.
Age: These frogs are reported to live up to 10 years in the wild and even longer with ideal care in captivity
Feeding: These frogs are insectivorous and will eat or try to eat most things that are moving in front of them. It is for this reason that we recommend you keep similarly-sized frogs together to prevent cannibalism. Gutloaded crickets and roaches are a staple for these frogs with things like mealworms and other arthropods being offered as treats occasionally. In the wild these frogs prey on a wider variety of arthropods including beetles and ants.
