Red Eyed Tree Frog for Sale

• Excellent frog for beginners. They grow up to 3 inches and live up to 10 years. Read all about them in our article.

• Our Red Eye Tree Frogs are adult frogs ranging from 1/2 inch to 3 inches. They are happy, healthy frogs. If you get more than 1 we will send all the same size.

• They are Nocturnal, so are most active at night. They are fun and colorful to watch when active, but during the day they lay still in a quiet spot and sleep.

• These frogs are Arboreal, meaning they like climbing in trees. The special tree frog habitat we offer is made for them so they can climb. Be sure to provide lots of things to climb on in their habitat like branchy sticks, driftwood, slabs of cork bark, plastic plants/vines, or bamboo poles.

• Tree frogs are usually comfortable at room temperature, but if your home is cold you should consider a heat light for extra warmth. These frogs like high humidity. Using moist coconut bedding on the bottom helps to hold the humidity, as well as daily misting. The tree frog habitat we offer is made to maintain temperature and humidity but purchasing a humidity gauge and thermometer can help make sure their needs are met.

• Up to 4 adult Red Eyed tree frogs will fit comfortably in our habitat. Red Eyed Tree frogs are social and like company, so if you can afford a companion or 2 they will appreciate it. We do not advise keeping different types of frogs in the same habitat, so please only purchase other Red-eyes to live with your frog.

About Your Red Eyed Tree Frog:

Size: about 2 to 3 inches  
Expected Life Span: 4 to 10 years  
Lifestyle: Arboreal (lives in trees)  
Level of Care: Good for beginners but fairly delicate 
 
General Appearance: 
The Red Eyed Tree Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) is an amazing animal that is well known around the world for its bright red eyes and its exotic colors. As its name suggests, the Red Eyed Tree Frog has bright red eyes with vertical, ellipse-shaped black pupils. They usually have bright green backs and legs, a bright blue side and orange toes. This blue coloration extends along the forearms of the Red Eyed Tree Frog. This species of frog has a wide variation in color depending on where they are found. The white to gold stripe on the sides appears and disappears according to the species, and some variations include orange colored thighs.  

*Always Wash Your Hands Both Before And After Handling Frogs or their Habitat*

Getting Ready for your Pet Frog: 
Set up the habitat as soon as it arrives. The frog will come separately via Overnight shipment and your habitat should be ready for it upon arrival.
 
When Your Pet Frog Arrives: 
Frogs are delicate and are not tolerant of much handling. We suggest children under 5 not be allowed to touch the frog and older children only with close supervision.

Your pet Red Eyed Tree Frog has arrived by Overnight shipment so he is in transit for as short a time as possible. However even a short trip will make him unhappy. Frogs express stress by turning a dark color and not moving much. So do not be alarmed if upon arrival his colors aren’t what you expect (dull or even brown) or he’s not very active. Wash your hands and make sure there is no lotion or soap on them. Hold the shipping container over the habitat so that if he jumps out unexpectedly, he will not have a long fall. Gently pick up the frog and place him into the habitat and securely close the habitat. Immediately wash your hands to avoid getting a rash from oils found on the skin of frogs. Keep his transportation container, as it’s a convenient place to put him when you do your habitat cleaning.

Give him a few days to adjust to his new home and start being happy, active and colorful. 
 
Know your Frog: 
Knowing your frog and understanding how to cater to its unique needs is important when you get one as a pet. They are called a ‘pet’ but frogs are not actually a pet you  ‘play with.’ Rather, they are to be appreciated in the habitat similar to watching a fish tank.

The Red Eyed Tree Frogs are highly arboreal, meaning they like to climb. So your habitat should include good things to climb on. Be sure to provide lots of things to climb on in their habitat like branchy sticks, driftwood, slabs of cork bark, plastic plants/vines, or bamboo poles.

The Red Eyed Tree Frog is delicate and does not like to be touched too often. This will make them feel threatened and this distress leads to illness; so do not touch them unnecessarily. Your lotion or even the oils in your skin can do a lot of harm to the frog.

They are nocturnal (active at night). During the day they stay in hiding or lay inactive in a corner of the habitat to sleep. However, during the night you can watch them become very active.

The Red Eyed Tree Frog is usually found living amongst friends and relatives. They like to play around and be in the company of their kind, so they would enjoy having a companion or so in the habitat. However, do not put more than 4 in the habitat that we offer due to space constraints. 
 
Feeding:
These frogs need to eat 3 to 4 times a week. The Red Eyed Tree Frogs are not particular on their food…if it moves and they can catch it, they will happily eat it.  They do need movement to recognize food, so they will not eat dead food sources. Crickets, worms and other small creepy crawlies form the bulk of the frog’s diet.  They can recognize routine –if you feed them at the same time every day you’ll start to find them waiting for their lunch. Any uneaten prey should be removed from the enclosure the next day to prevent dead insects from polluting the frog’s environment. Every-other feeding we suggest you sprinkle a little calcium or multivitamin powder onto the bugs before you drop them into the habitat. 

Caring for Red Eyed Tree Frogs:
First and foremost, remember that your little Tree Frog is a big jumper…you want to make sure you keep the lid firmly on your frogs habitat at all times.

Temperature: Frogs are cold-blooded, meaning they can’t regulate their body temperature on their own. A heater is not usually necessary as these frogs are comfortable in room temperature, but if your home is cold you should consider a small heat light for extra warmth.

Humidity: These frogs like high humidity. You can help keep the humidity high by using a plant mister to spray the habitat with water once a day or more. Air conditioners lower the humidity of the room so if you have one on, you must give your frog’s habitat a few more sprays of water to make sure he doesn’t get dehydrated. Coconut Husk bedding is good to use because it helps to retain moisture in the habitat.

Cleaning: Make sure the habitat is always clean. If you move the frog into another container to clean his habitat, gently lift him with your fingers being careful not to poke, pinch or squeeze him. You must also be very careful when you clean your Red Eyed Tree Frog’s habitat. They are extremely sensitive to soaps and detergents. Using only hot water, rinse the habitat and décor. Remove dirty substrate bits or replace the entire substrate.  Always wash your hands after handling the habitat contents. 

What if I can no longer care for my Frog?
These frogs live a long time. If there’s ever a reason you can no longer take care of it, please do not release the frog outside. He can not survive outside temperatures and he may not have learned to hunt on his own.  Some suggestions: find a friend or neighbor who would like a pet frog, or donate it to a school for a wildlife display, or give it to a local pet shop who can possibly find it a home.
