Green Tree Frogs

Say Hello to the Green Tree Frog (Dryophytes cinereus): Small in size, big in personality

Bright, charming, and easy to care for, the Green Tree Frog is a beloved native species found throughout the southeastern United States. With its smooth lime-green skin, golden eyes, and gentle nature, this little amphibian brings a lively splash of the wild into your home, garden, or classroom.

Appearance: Typically 1 to 2.5 inches long, Green Tree Frogs have a vibrant green body with a white or cream stripe along each side. Their color can shift slightly based on mood and environment.

Habitat: In the wild, they live in humid, vegetated areas—swamps, forests, and near ponds or streams. They prefer elevated perches, often found clinging to leaves, branches, or windows.

Behavior: Known for their distinct "quonking" call, males sing loudly during warm, rainy evenings in the breeding season. These frogs are nocturnal, spending their days resting and their nights hunting insects.

Diet: Insectivorous by nature, they thrive on a diet of crickets, flies, and small invertebrates. In captivity, they’re low-maintenance eaters and a great choice for beginner amphibian keepers.

Lifespan: With proper care, Green Tree Frogs can live 5 to 6 years, sometimes longer in ideal conditions.

Care Tips: These frogs do well in vertical terrariums with humidity around 50–70%, plenty of foliage, and moderate warmth (72–80°F). They’re hardy, non-aggressive, and often active in the evening hours—perfect for observation.
