Tiger-legged monkey frogs are really cool. Monkey frogs are in a seperate genus from tree frogs, plus they have "thumbs" on their rear feet and amazing flexibility. They're also very poor jumpers, preferring to crawl rather than hop (though they're not incapable of it). There are several monkey frogs that go by the name tiger-legged, but the one most often seen in the pet industry is
Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis ("
P. azurea"). Other names include orange legged, tiger striped, etc.
Phyllomedusa tomopterna can also be found, but I've never seen one myself.
They only get 2 inches long as adults, and can be fed a diet primarily consisting of gutloaded crickets. Neonates will eat fruit flies and pinhead crickets. They can't swim too well, so a water dish no deeper than the frog is all you need. Use dechlorinated water, as for all herps. The tank must be heavily planted, and the typical amphibian substrates apply to these frogs. Bed-A-Beast, cypress mulch, etc are all good, but the best in my mind is pure, clean potting soil. You can pack it down so that it doesn't stick to the frogs so much too. Its been suggested that monkey frogs can benefit from UVB lighting, so I personally use one for mine, and I recommend you do the same. Temperatures of 80-70 degrees are just fine for monket frogs, and a moderate humidity level, around 50-70% is fine. They're not from very humid forests, but will tolerate higher humidity. Better to have too much than too little when applied to amphibians. A 10 gallon will house one frog, and a 20 tall will house about 3, for they're fairly active frogs. Be sure to use a screen lid.
Here's my tigerleg, Crikket. He's a
