Golden Tree Frog Project (Polypedates leucomystax)

My in-laws have a terraced pond on their frontyard patio of their sub-urban residence. For quite some time I've heard the call of Golden Tree-Frogs whenever I spent some time chilling out there. Night before last, it seemed like I was hearing a lot more frogs than usual. With a flashlight I managed to spot up to a dozen adult individuals. Inspection of the pond revealed tadpoles in considerable abundance, so I decided to start a Golden Tree Frog Project. One scoop of the net was all it took.


Years ago I had wild-caught adults that successfully produced tadpoles in captivity. This time I'm hoping to raise them effectively

From this batch at least one individual has already developed hind legs



Got a good spot for this kritter by a window that gets a good dose of morning sunshine.


I also collected a good amount of pond water and some pond scum with algae for them to graze on, but I also plan on feeding them Tetramin flakes.






Cheers and Kudos to all frog keepers. I find them a lot tougher to care for than scorpions or snakes

Very interesting indeed

Thanks for posting this up!

After some observation, I'm led to think that some of the tadpoles like the one in pic 3 might those of a Painted Frog - Kaloula sp.

Finally an update to the Frog Project

Very nicely done.

Late reply but great job man!
