thanks bro. The female copper-cheek is about 6cm, male copper-cheek about 4cm, and four-lined about 5cm. I suspect the female copper-cheek is pregnant as her tummy look really big lately, not sure though, no experience . Anyone knows how long is the gestation period of tree frogs before giving birth to tadpoles?

Cool Man!!!

By the way, what are the plants that you use in there? Are they ready available?

Cheers!!

thanks bro. Yes the plants I used are readily available either bought from florist farms or harvested from gardens/parks.

I am pretty poor at identifying plants. Here is a list of some emersed plants I used to the best of my knowledge:

- Fossiden moss
- Mini moss
- Pink StarLite bromeliad
- Green bromeliad (???)
- Birdnest fern (mini)
- Staghorn fern (mini)
- Airplant (???)
- Orchid (???)
- Pickerel Weed (???)
- Palm Tree (mini)
- Nanas
- local creeper ferns (???)

Frogs lay eggs.

I guess I am too much into seahorse breeding last time, still thinking of pregnant seahorse carrying unborn babies during gestation.

ok let me rephrase my question - does frog with heavy tummy (assuming it is not due to overfeeding) indicate that it is going to lay egg soon? If so, how long before it starts laying eggs. And how long does it takes for the eggs to hatch into tadpoles

thanks.

Nice setup.

Currently planning to convert to paludarium. How do you create your curve dry land?

just wondering where can we can four line tree frogs in singapore. and what other frogs are available

[Justikanz]

Chiaki23, 4-lined tree frogs are local frogs but they are not in the AVA approved list of amphibian pets. Please check the list before asking the question. Thank you.

Please note that the population of 4-lined tree frogs are decreasing and illegal poaching for such frogs are not encouraged and is illegal in Singapore.

Is your 4-lined tree frog under the species name Hyperolius marmoratus? I read from the web that it needs full spectrum UV light to bring out its colours.
