This is another species of tree frog that I keep, you don't see them all that often in captivity - but they are around. This guy I got by accident. I got my white's tree frog, with a full tank setup and he was buried in the bottom of the tank, under 3" of peat substrate. Hey, free frog! :)
They can be kept pretty much identical to the white's tree frog. Max temps in the mid 80s, and can drop to the high 60s at night. Humidity as high as you can get it without making the tank actually stagnant and wet. They prefer to eat crickets, and the occasional meal worm. This particular species is a little more skittish than the white's. They enjoy jumping and are very athletic, easily jumping a few feet out of an unsuspecting hand. Nocturnal, they usually find a good branch (usually the same spot day after day) and sleep all day and wake up in the early evening.
