American Green Tree Frog 4-6cm WC

Hyla cinerea, also known as the American green tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to the southeastern United States. These frogs are known for their bright green colouration and distinctive call that sounds like a loud “quonk.” They are commonly found in trees near bodies of water where they feed on insects and other small invertebrates.

Hyla cinerea should be housed in a terrarium with plenty of live plants and branches for climbing. It is important to provide a shallow water dish for them to soak in and maintain high humidity levels to mimic their natural habitat.

A basking light can be used to provide warmth, with temperatures kept between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and slightly cooler at night. UVB lighting is also recommended to help with calcium absorption and overall health. It is important to monitor temperatures and humidity levels regularly to ensure the well-being of the green tree frog.

Green tree frogs are insectivores and should be fed a diet of crickets, flies, and other small insects. It is important to dust their food with calcium and vitamin supplements to ensure they are receiving proper nutrition. Overfeeding should be avoided to prevent obesity and other health issues.
