Green Tree Frog

just to share something important which i found on net and i think is very useful.


Section: Handling Amphibians
The first question to ask yourself when handling your amphibian is "Is
this action necessary?" Amphibians, with their permeable skin, are much more sensitive to touch than the scaly-skinned reptiles.

The skin affords little protection against dessication (drying) or against heat. The amphibian's thin skin absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere, but the skin can also absorb anything else that it comes into contact with. If you have perfume, insecticide, hand lotion, or even soap residue on your hands and you handle an amphibian, the frog or salamander will absorb whatever is on your skin, perhaps with fatal results.

There is also the temperature differential to consider. Compared to the ambient temperature of a salamander or frog, your hands are hot. The heat from your clean hands (and the stress of being handled) can actually cause the death of a tiny frog or toad. But there are several ways to handle your amphibian with a minimum of emotional and physical stress.

still young bro... wait till they grow older.... once u start raining or sraying water at them... they start to "sing"

A tall tank with height 3 ft would be good... provide lots of branches so they able to excersie

Not maybe, but really.
Those froggies used to feed fish? They don't make noise. But when they reach BF size, try catching some of them and they do croak.
