tree froglets

[daveandgina]

i have been looking into getting some frogs for a while now and i've just found someone who is selling some green tree froglets, would really love to buy them but need a bit of info on the type of enclosure and the care that they need. basicaly i am hoping to get 2 or 3, not sure whether i need a vivarium or glass tank, what size enclosure and whether to get a screw in uv or a uv tube. everything else has been explained. just need to be sure before buying.

i keep dragons, rankins, a tortoise, a royal python an african grey and budgies so i am aware they each have different requirements and its best to find out a bit about them first.

Are these american or european greens?
With tree frogs I would recommend a tall (rather than wide) exo terra or similar terrarium. For that amount of frogs; a 45x45x60 would be great.
I'd say a 5.0 exo terra screw in bulb 26 watt will suffice!
I have no experience with either of those species, but I hear they are good starter amphibians.

thankyou, i can start shopping around tommorow. not sure what type exactly they are, i was just told green tree froglets, is there much of a difference. i know they are on 25 mm and dont grow much bigger.

I think there will be a difference in temperature/humidity levels and other needs, but you could get the basics for now.
I'm sure if you find out the exact species then someone else will be able to help you more than I can.

They sound like American green treefrogs- IPF's advice is pretty good, now check out some online care sheets, and you'll be fine.
