Product Description
Product Description
Almost anyone can recognise a tree frog, thanks mainly to their large eyes and suction-cup toes, and the fact that marketers have used their charming appearance on calendars, coffee mugs, and hundreds of other items. Found almost anywhere there are forests, many species are also commonly kept as pets. Caring for a tree frog doesn't have to be difficult, but it does need to be done right. Like other reptiles and amphibians, pet tree frogs need the proper environment and diet to remain healthy. This guide is a complete care manual for the interesting, colourful and sometimes bizarre tree frogs. It contains information in numerous species - common and rare - including red-eyed tree frogs, green tree frogs, White's tree frog, and many more. The eye-catching sidebars, boxes, and photographs illustrate key topics essential to owners of these endearing amphibians. Tree Frogs will help you keep your frog healthy for all of his life.

Format:Paperback
While this is a good book for any animal collectors bookshelf, if you are after a specific treefrog, then you are best off looking at caresheets on the internet and the various exotic pet forums out there.
As with most of these types of books that are non species specific, pretty general for most of the book then split into a couple of pages per species near the back. Still a good buy though.

Great pictures and detailed information
25 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
This book's excellent pictures and detailed information on the species of tree frogs found in the pet trade is what caught my eye. As a beginner I wanted something that would not lump tree frogs into a few basic groups since I know they exist in many diverse enviroments-from my own back yard the USA, to the tropics. I found the housing and feeding information to be complete and there were many pictures of terrariums and descriptions of some interesting habitat features, such as the "rain bar". I didn't know some tree frogs did not need high humidty and the author was very clear on which tree frogs were from more arid enviroments and did not need a lot of misting. The health section seemed short and obviously the author was trying to point out that illnesses were to be avoided at all cost by good husbandry. The book covered a lot of natural history and from that information owners should be able to tell what ranges of humidity to use for their tree frogs. The natural history sections of the various tree frogs was informative and interesting even if I can never get one of the more rare/expensive or delicate tree frogs. Overall, I think the book is a good read for people with tree frogs, or for people just interested in herps.

tree frog book
11 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book, gives you a lot of information. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't give you specifics like I would have wanted. An example is that it doesn't tell you exact humidities that are needed, just a range of how much the humidity can go up or down. I also wish the terrarium set up pictures could have been bigger. Also more on illnesses would have been helpful. But I am glad I got this particular book. I looked at a lot and this seemed to be the best one.

Very Informative

Format:Paperback
This book was very informative in describing the needs of tree frogs. The section on feeding was a particular point of interest for me as I am a novice at keeping frogs. Overall it was a good read.
