{"product_id":"australian-red-eyed-tree-frog","title":"Australian Red-eyed Tree Frog | Chlorohyla chloris","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Australian Red-eyed Tree Frog is a strikingly marked rainforest frog named for its vivid red-orange eyes and rich green back. It is an arboreal, mostly nocturnal species that shows beautifully in a planted, humid terrarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe species lives in rainforest and wet forest along the east coast from around south-east Queensland into northern New South Wales, sheltering high in the canopy and descending to breed after rain. Natural origin for this listing is captive-bred stock of a species native to the east-coast rainforests of Australia. The enclosure should recreate that leafy, humid environment with dense planting, sturdy branches, broad leaves and a shallow water area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA healthy specimen is bright green above with smooth, clear skin, a lemon to golden flank and the characteristic red-orange eye. Some individuals show fine white or bluish spotting along the sides. Adult size is generally 4.5–6.5 cm, so the animal should never be purchased only for its current size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTemperament is best described as calm and arboreal, sitting quietly by day and becoming active at night. They can be kept in single-species groups of similar-sized frogs in a large planted terrarium; house only frogs of comparable size, as larger frogs may eat smaller ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed as an insectivore; a varied diet of live insects such as crickets, roaches, moths and flies. Offer food two to three times a week for adults and more often for juveniles, dusting with calcium and a vitamin supplement, and remove uneaten prey. Provide clean, dechlorinated water at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small group needs a tall, planted terrarium of at least 60 x 45 x 60 cm. Keep ambient temperatures around 20–26°C by day with a cooler night drop, avoiding hot basking lamps. Low-level UVB is beneficial. Maintain high humidity of about 70–90% with regular misting, using a moist substrate, live or artificial planting, branches and broad leaves for climbing, and spot-clean regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBreeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreeding is triggered by warm, wet conditions that simulate the monsoon, with males calling and females laying eggs on vegetation over water. Tadpoles drop into the water to develop. Breeding is achievable in a dedicated rain-chamber setup but is not expected for most keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecies Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChlorohyla chloris (syn.
