The Spinybottom Flying Tree Frog, also known as the Javan Gliding Frog, requires a humid environment with plenty of climbing opportunities. It is important to provide a varied diet of insects and other small invertebrates to ensure their health and well-being. Additionally, these frogs are known for their unique ability to glide from tree to tree using their webbed feet and skin flaps.
Spinybottom Flying Tree Frogs are arboreal and will appreciate a tall terrarium with plenty of foliage and branches to climb on. It is also important to regularly mist the enclosure to maintain the necessary humidity levels for their skin health.
In captivity, exechopygus should be provided with a water source for soaking and hydration, as well as a substrate that retains moisture well. Additionally, it is recommended to monitor their behaviour and appearance closely to catch any signs of illness or stress early on.
Exechopygus frogs are known to be sensitive to changes in their environment, so it is crucial to keep their terrarium clean and well-maintained. Providing a varied diet of insects and small invertebrates will help ensure their nutritional needs are met in captivity.
Regularly cleaning the terrarium and ensuring proper temperature gradients are also essential for the overall health and well-being of exechopygus frogs. It is important to consult with a veterinarian experienced in exotic amphibians if any health concerns arise.
It is important to supply heat and UVB to these frogs. Temperatures should be maintained between 24-29 degrees Celsius (75-85) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Additionally, providing hiding spots and plenty of foliage in the terrarium will help create a comfortable and secure environment for the frogs.
