Description
Red Eye Tree Frogs are bright green in body, with a creamy white belly. They have large red eyes with vertical slit pupils, and yellow and blue stripes down their sides(although colors can vary with region). The males get up to about 2 to 2 ½ inches in size, the females get slightly larger at 2 ½ to 3 inches. They have long orange toes with pads at the end they use to climb trees. Their skin is delicate, so these guys are more for looking at than handling.
Beginnings
The first ‘designer’ leopard gecko was born in 1991, and it was a high yellow morph (high yellow morphs have the same amount of black spots as normal leos, but with a brighter and more intense yellow background color). Prior to this the only pattern that was possible to buy was the standard ‘wild’ leo.
The best way to feed your leopard a calcium supplement is to gut load its feeder insects with a high-calcium diet. Blend together a sauce made from any of: dandelion greens; watercress; collard greens; mustard greens, and/or endive. Be sure to include both the juice and the pulp. Feed this to the feeder insects during the period 24-48 hours prior to feeding them to your leopard.
You want humidity in the 60-80% range. This can be achieved by using potting soil, orchid bark, sphagnum moss as a flooring substrate. These substrates help hold moisture in. You can also do regular misting, or close off part of the cage top to hold in moisture. A good rule of thumb is, if the glass has water beading on it, its to moist. Adjust as needed. It is a good idea to mist your frogs a few times a week.
They will require branches and plants to climb and have hidey holes.
Diet
Red Eye Tree Frogs are insectivorous. So a diet of crickets, mealworms, fruit flies, and just about any insect that fit in their mouth is fair game. I recommend gut loading anything you give them, as this adds to the nutritional value of your insects. Provide them a large water dish with fresh water, they rehydrate themselves by soaking in the dish. Use ONLY distilled water, or filtered and dechlorinated water. Chemicals in tap water can kill your frog.
Maintenance
Red Eye Tree Frogs are easy to maintain. Spot clean as needed to get dead insects and droppings out of the cage. And as needed (couple of times a year) change substrate so mold does not grow. After removing substrate, spray with a 5% bleach solution, then wash the tank out. Make sure to wash anything you sprayed with the bleach. And make sure to wash your hands after handling the cage and accessories.
