Hi all, i've seen all the fantastic setups you guys have and all the adorable white tree frogs, i've been looking for them for quite some time now and tried qian hu but they're all sold out mind if any of you tell me where to get them or any of you letting one or two go? tried to pm but i can't :s

[betta_gene]

There are alot in BKK JJ market when i visited sometime back haha going at around 500baht per piece not expensive!

[Blackcat]

is there anyway I can get them locally instead?

[eddy planer]

Hi Blackcat,

You will never able to source any locally unless someone here will sell just one or two WTFs for a high price.

The only way, you have to either fly to BKK or Indonesia to source them or even Malaysia. I do believe Johore Baru has them but I really don't have contact.

Back in the past of 3 years ago, those frogs wasn't selling very well due to lack of exposure, now I know some of us willing to pay SGD350 or more for each frog , you must understand this frog can live up to 15 years!!!!!!

Hope this will help you.

So lucrative? Compile an order for me and I'll gladly do it for $150 a frog, a fraction of $350.

[Blackcat]

No one letting off any?

[fisbike]

Your tank still looks as solid as ever, must have put in a lot of efforts.
Any breeding taking place?

[vivaboy76]

so whats the best food for frogs??

[eddy planer]

Hi vivaboy,

Just feed cricket the big black type, you will see your critters will be become chubby, cuter and lovely to hold!!!

[lifesaving]

I ever feed it with mealworm

[vivaboy76]

hmmm thanks just trying to get the best info.....currently i am feeding mine with gut loaded mealworm... once a month crickets

[eddy planer]

You guys really luckily to feed them fat mealworms but I cant due to those critters are too lazy to look down for food and they rather wait for those crickets to climb up high and all the fatties started tearing flora apart and even pushing one another to strike for crickets!!

[Shaihulud]

Hopefully someone local will breed it sucessfully, with such high prices, it is strange that we see it so rarely.

Sighz its not that easy, I thought it would be easy but I don't know what I'm doing wrong... they're just not mating!!! Or rather the males are horny, but the females are just not in the mood...

[eddy planer]

Hi brother

To captive breeding those Frogs aren't easy at all.. not even my monster tank.
I met a seller in Indonesia who sold me the captive bred frogs a year ago who told me how he captive breed them by using a 5mx5mx2m open fenced cage with live 1.8m tall tree which located at the centre of the cage and come with misting sprayer. The atmosphere must be 26-28 deg C and RH 80-90 % just to house 4 females and 1 male.

Anyway, I'm be soon to fly Jayapura in July and will be visiting the farms if i can, but I will be joining the natives to hunt for white lip tree or white green frogs and other exotic reptiles..will upload pictures if i get there.

A local used to breed them even before they were legalized. He just sprayed their enclosure with a garden hose daily and they just bred. Lucky perhaps.
