Hot rocks or other potentially harmful heating devices should be avoided. It may be helpful to use a low wattage reptile heat light to achieve the proper temperatures, and an infra-red heat light may be needed to heat the cage during the night in cooler climates. Temperature and Humidity: The temperature during the day should range from 75вЏ to 85вЏ (24вЊ to 29вЊ) and can drop to between 65вЏ and 75вЏ (18вЊ and 24вЊ) at night. Bottled spring water can be used instead of conditioned tap water. If tap water is used, it should be treated with tap water conditioner to remove chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals. This should be changed daily or when it appears dirty. Water: A bowl of clean water large enough for the tree frog to soak in should be available at all times. Fake plants can be wrapped around perches to provide hiding areas for the frogs, and large broad-leaved plants can be used throughout the cage to give the frogs cover. Suitable perches include driftwood, cork bark tubes, PVC pipe segments, and vines. Gravel, small bark pieces, and abrasive reptile carpeting should be avoided. Simple substrates, such as paper towels or foam rubber, may need to be cleaned as often as once or twice a week, while more natural substrates, such as soil mixtures, generally last longer. Moist paper towels, foam rubber, coconut husk fiber (bed-a-beast, forest bed, eco earth, etc.) or other safe soils are all good substrate options. The main components of their cage include a substrate, perches, and hide spots. Attaching an aquarium background or black poster board to three sides of the aquarium will help the frogs feel secure and make the cage more attractive. A tight-fitting screen cover should be provided otherwise the frogs will escape. A standard 20 gallon high aquarium that measures 24 inches long by 12 inches wide by 16 inches high (61 cm by 30 cm by 40 cm) is large enough for a trio of golden tree frogs, although more room is recommended. Although golden tree frogs canвЂ™t glide, they can jump long distances and need room to do so in captivity. It may be helpful to quarantine new arrivals individually and have them inspected by a trained veterinarian.Д¬age: Golden tree frogs belong to a group of tree frogs that contains some species that literally glide from tree to tree in the wild. Do not buy any frog with cuts or scratches, unusual bumps, dark pink or red markings, severe rostral abrasions, or that is underweight. Most are not cared for properly during their transportation from the wild to their permanent captive home, so itвЂ™s important to make sure golden tree frogs are healthy before they are purchased. Many common names are used for Polypedates leucomystax, including golden tree frog, golden foam-nest frog, four-lined tree frog, Asian flying frog, golden flying frog, common tree frog, banana frog and Asian tree frog.ДЄlthough breeding is occasionally achieved in captivity, the majority of golden tree frogs available are wild-caught. Their ventral side is solid white or cream in color. Their color and pattern are variable and range from a solid orange-tan, to a lightly-striped gray with a brown stripe outlining their face, to a highly patterned tan, beige, brown and gray variation with four dark stripes descending from the head down the back. Like most other tree frogs, they have strong legs and can jump considerable distances. They have an angular head that comes to a distinct point at the end of their nose. Males are smaller than females and have a loud call. Golden tree frogs range in size from 1.5 to 3.5 inches (3.8 to 8.9 cm) as adults. They rarely demand a high price and generally make hardy captives.

In recent years, this species has been imported in large numbers and is often available from both pet stores and herp dealers. They are native to tropical Asia and have a large range that extends from India to the Philippines. Introduction: The golden tree frog is a large, active amphibian that is regularly offered for sale.
