    That will effectively push the prices of whites up. What could be a possible reason behind the ban?

    the website still shows its approved for sale. unless the site hasnt been updated.

    on a sidenote, is it normal for lets say two white tree frogs - one eats like a monster. the other seems always curled up in a corner and doesnt hunt when i leave crickets in the cage but only eats 1 when i feed it with a tweezer. just worried about the other. seems to be eating 1 cricket everyday lately. any advice?

    No need to be worried. too much worryin will make you take drastic actions like force feeding or keep disturbing it which results further stress for the animal hahaha.

    Mine is like that .. always shy when im around. always thought that it's not been eating.. two years already and now super fat .. just let it be alright? unless you see some serious injury or that it keeps soaking itself day and night..

    Could be troublesome. Pictures, if not, I recommend a good vet visit at Jalan Kayu.

    Re: Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

    Abrasion, a very bad one.

    In the US, they'd be using silver sulfadiazine cream or Neosporin without the painkiller. I'm not sure if you can find these in Singapore.
    I genuinely suggest you visit the vet.

    Increase your cage size to at least 20 gallons, AKA 60 x40x40 cm.
    Abrasions are caused when the cage is too small, usually.

    Change the substrate to moist paper towel and make sure the tank is sanitary until the abrasion is gone, then you can revert to less stringent standards.

    Lastly, do your research. I'm making inferences here, so do pardon me if I get things wrong.

    Your tank size is half of what's needed. Do your research. Lighting can simply suit the needs of the plants, which should be sturdy to support the ***'s weight.

    Substrate, potting soil without chemicals or fertilisers, or a fine mix of coconut fiber.

    Again, do your research. A google doesn't take long.

For the UVB , is it important for me to get either the solar glo or reti glor by exo terra? and one more question, what if im housing im frog in a aircon room, must i get it a night heat lamp? really sorry for the questions, im really a newbie in GTF.

    Re: Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

    When you google for a number of caresheets, you are compiling the experiences of breeders, which account for many many years of expertise in your brain. You don't even have to wait for any response.

    I have read many caresheets, but only have had white's tree frog's for 3 months. Forums are meant for questions that caresheets can barely cover, you'll figure out what this means as time goes by.

    Do read a good, solid caresheet.

    It is already hot enough in Singapore for whites. They would like something like...25-28 celsius in the morning, and 22-24 at night. Use a simple fluorescent for your viewing please. As for UVB, I'll let you have the fun of figuring out yourself, since if you don't, it'll be an expensive side dish.

    Anyway, welcome to the forum. Do find out more before you get your subjects, as opposed to the many irresponsible people out there.

    It's better to ask and learn from your mistake rather then don't ask and make them pay for the mistake

    Its always okay to ask. But ask valid questions with regards to experiences not covered in your research.

    I do hope you will not be unlucky in obtaining parasitic white's tree frogs as I did. :/

    Re: Calling all White's Tree Frog Owners

    Parasitic frogs is just like buying fishes and then suddenly they die within 1-3 days without reason... it's a hit and miss thing... of course there can be preventive measures like feeding them dewormer and conditioning them properly but again it can be a hit and miss thing... no one can guarantee that there won't be any casualty...

    In my 20+ years of keeping frogs, I dare to say I have a 10-15% casualty rate... no matter how careful I am or whatever preventive measures I took there're bound to be that 1-2 casualties... just my 2 cents...

    no need to be so hard on yourself when the frog passes on...

    They're still alive with me after a vet visit. Anyone wants to tell me how often their white's excrete faeces?

    Guys, i went to check out the shop at jurong west st 52 regarding the tree frog. The uncle told me that AVA came and seized the frogs and said that it was banned.
