White Clown Tree Frog Overview
Appearance
The average size of an adult clown tree frog is 2 inches in size. This makes them tiny frogs and the females are larger than the males. Clown tree frogs have a uniform color of reddish-brown with an orange underside with a pattern of yellow or blotches on the dorsal side of their body. Some color forms have a bright gold coloration on the back of their legs. They are easy to spot in green vegetation.
Habitat, Tank Conditions & Setup
Tank
An adult tree frog should have a minimum sized tank of 15 gallons. Experts generally recommend a 20-gallon tall tank for a pair or trio of clown tree frogs. It is important to ensure that the tank has adequate ventilation through a mesh lid that should cover the entire top part of the tank. They require a tank that is vertical because they love to climb platforms and branches in their tank. Clown tree frogs should have plenty of vegetation so that they feel safe and secure.
Clown tree frogs do not require a form of UV lighting. A standard fluorescent or compact bulb is sufficient to provide enough lighting in the enclosure. This helps you to see inside of the tank better and it also helps live plant growth.
Heating (Temperature & Humidity)
Clown tree frogs require moderately high amounts of humidity in their tank. The optimal level of humidity is between 60% to 80%. Humidity helps them to retain moisture in their mucus-covered skin. The ideal temperature for a clown tree frog is between 70°F to 80°F. A heat lamp is too harsh for them, and you should opt to use a controlled heat mat for reptiles.
Substrate
Many substrates are suitable for clown tree frogs. The best types of substrates for their enclosure are shredded coconut fiber or sphagnum moss. The substrate should be misted several times a day to prevent it from drying out and to help raise the humidity.

Feeding Your Clown Tree Frog
The main food source for clown tree frogs is crickets. This provides them with all the nutrients they require to remain healthy. Crickets can be fed throughout the clown tree frogs’ entire life. They should also be fed tree frog pellets or powdered foods that have been soaked in water. A glass dish will suffice as a place to keep the food on.
Any leftover food should be removed after several hours, and the dish should be rinsed under hot water. Approximately three to six crickets should be fed at a time. Avoid feeding wild-caught crickets as they usually contain pesticides or other types of poisons.
Keeping Your Clown Tree Frog Healthy
Ensuring that your clown tree frog has suitable and clean habitat and insect-rich diet will keep them healthy for the duration of their lifespan.
Getting the correct levels of humidity and temperature can be done by using a reptile thermometer and a hydrometer.
The levels should not fluctuate during the day but can be lowered by a few degrees during the nighttime. Keeping clown tree frogs moist is the most important part of keeping them healthy.
A rain reservoir system can be used to ensure the entire enclosure is kept moist and this will prevent them from drying out. An automatic misting system is also helpful if you are unable to mist them throughout the day.
A shallow dish of water allows them to rehydrate themselves and you may find that your clown tree frog enjoys sitting in it.
Common Health Issues
Bacterial issues are the most problematic health issue in clown tree frogs. This can be caused by dirty water being introduced into their enclosure through misting or a dirty water bowl.
Otherwise, the clown tree frog rarely gets ill in captivity and there are minimal health issues.
Lifespan
The White Clown Tree Frog does not live very long, and the average lifespan is around 3 to 5 years. It is not uncommon for healthy and well-cared for tree frogs to live to 6 or 7 years of age. If you take good care of the clown tree frog you should expect to have them around for the next several years.
