Males and females range from 4 to 4.5” or 10 to 12 cm snout-to-vent length (SVL), and 7.5-9” or 19-21 cm in total length. Adults weight between 35-60 grams. Fire-Bellied Toads are endemic to Northeastern China, Korea, and the Khabarovsk and Primorye regions in Russia. Despite their common name Fire-Bellied “Toad”, these cute amphibians are actually frogs. As the name already indicates, their bellies are brightly colored in orange, yellow or red. These strikingly colored bellies are actually a warning sign (called aposematic coloration) to inform predators that they are distasteful and should not be eaten. Change/clean the substrate regularly:This isn’t as big of a deal if you’re using a natural substrate such as Eco Earth. If you’re using something like paper towels, replacing them a few times a week can help keep your habitat clean. If you don’t want to buy a “pre-made” reptile habitat, there are also a few good DIY options out there.

Green Anoles are native to the Southeastern United States, but have also been introduced to Hawaii, Ogasawara Islands of Japan, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Guam. Green Anoles are diurnal, primarily arboreal, iguanid lizards of the Genus Dactyloidae. Green Anoles mostly inhabit trees and shrubs in tropical & subtropical evergreen forests, but can just as well be found in open grassland with only a few trees, and even in rural and urban areas. Here at The Pet Express we want you to enjoy every time you shop with us. Occasionally we know you may want to return items, we have tried to make our terms as clear as possible to avoid any nasty surprises. The easy-to-install Day & Night LED lighting system has bright white LED’s that create a nice daylight and (a) blue LED to mimic a moonlight shimmer that enables you to observe your animals at night without disturbing their natural behavior. The dim light of the blue LED’s allows nocturnal animals to navigate in their territory in search of insects, mating-partners, etc… . The low energy consumption of the LED fixture and almost complete absence of heat production reduces the risk of overheating and allows natural night time temperature drops. They emerge at night, climbing and jumping through the smaller trees, lower shrubs and lianas in search of insects, berries and plant nectar to eat.Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are stunning, long-lived and relatively “easy-to-care-for” amphibians. Their engaging personalities, their huge bright red eyes, bright green dorsal color with blue striped sides, and their bright orange webbed feet, make them one of the most stunning display animals for both the beginning reptile enthusiast as well as for the advanced hobbyist. The instruction manual included is designed to help you manage the installation and set up process. They provide some insight into maintenance and decoration. Place the eggs, without rotating them, in the Exo Terra Incubator at 77° F or 25° C, on a moist incubation medium like moss, Vermiculite or Perlite. Keep the medium moist at all times. Eggs usually hatch after 70 days.

Incandescent lights, like the Daytime Heat bulb or the Daylight Basking spot are recommended to provide heat if temperatures are too cool (see “Heating” section). No risk of impaction:As long as you don’t rip the paper towel up into a million pieces (why would you?), there is virtually no risk of it getting mixed up with their food. No more worrying about impaction! While I’ve found that a 18″ x 18″ x 24″ enclosure works best, a lot of people out there claim 12″ x 12″ x 18″ terrariums are sufficient.

Water dishes should be kept filled at all times and should be thoroughly washed and rinsed regularly or whenever fouled. Fire-Bellied Toads are hardy, long-lived and “easy-to-care-for”. Their semi-aquatic lifestyle, their exposure of belly colors as they float at the water surface, and their somewhat clumsy “amusing” motions make them appealing display animals for both the beginning reptile enthusiast as well as for the advanced hobbyist.

That said, supplementing their diet with calcium is necessary to avoid Metabolic Bone Disease (calcium deficiency), especially if you aren’t using any sort of UVB light. This is one hundred percent natural and is known to increase humidity levels. It stimulates plant growth and is easy to use and work with. When it comes to plants, I like to keep everything 100% artificial. Live plants can be a ton of work and make the setup much harder to keep up with. Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are a fairly social species and are best enjoyed when kept in small groups of 4 to 8 animals. The interaction between the animals in these small groups increases the viewing pleasure but also stimulates their mating behavior. All in all, Exo Terra Terrariums are really effective and will probably save you tons of time/effort (and maybe even money) in the long run. The DIY OptionHumidity slowly falls throughout the day to 50% or so, at which time we mist again. Once again, just make sure there is some sort of variation in humidity – it shouldn’t be at 80% all throughout the day. We reserve the right to substitute items in the setup for other items of equal value and functionality. The Sylvia's Tree Frog's common name refers to the 3-year-old granddaughter of the Herpetologist Andrew Gray, who described the species in 2018. For daytime lighting in terrariums with live plants, the Exo Terra Natural Light fluorescent lamps will provide a nice quality of light for viewing and for growing plants. These lamps can be used with various Exo Terra fixtures, like the Compact Top, Light Dome or Reptile Dome. Red-Eyed Tree Frogs are native to Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and even occur in some isolated populations in Colombia. They primarily prefer tropical rainforests and humid lowland forests but can sometimes be found in humid forests on premontane slopes up to 1250 m above sea level.
