How Do You Care For A Barking Tree Frog?
The barking tree frog is great for people of all experience levels with reptiles as they are hardy and low maintenance. The barking tree frog is nocturnal and very vocal, though, so you will need to be prepared for some nighttime noise. Their call has been measured at 80 decibels which is as loud as a bus. A single barking tree frog may “bark” 8,000 times in one night. Provide a 20-gallon aquarium that is fairly tall (avoid the 20 long tanks), for your barking tree frog. Up to 3 frogs will live in this sized aquarium with ease. Provide a snug fitting screen tank lid as well. Cover the sides and back of the aquarium with a tank liner or dark green backing. You may also use cork bark on the back wall as well. Place a substrate of peat moss or orchid bark on the bottom of the cage. You only need a thin layer to help maintain humidity in the aquarium. Use plenty of plants inside the cage and other things for your tree frog to climb on. Provide them with several hiding places as well that t
