When you cross a tree frog with a tiger leg, what do you get? You get the Tiger Leg Tree Frog! This unique amphibian is distinguished by its bright yellow and black markings on its legs, and its unusually long tongue. The Tiger Leg Tree Frog is native to South America, where it inhabits rain forests and wetlands. It makes an excellent addition to any home aquarium, and will bring beauty and color to your tank!

Tiger Leg Tree Frogs are generally a forest floor dwelling species but can be found in various habitats, including rain forests, cloud forests, and even near urban areas. They are an arboreal species, meaning they spend most of their time in trees and only come down to the ground to mate and lay eggs.

The Tiger Leg Tree Frog diet consists mainly of insects, but they will also eat other small invertebrates.

These frogs are not too difficult to keep when it comes to care. They do best in a tropical terrarium with plenty of hiding places and climbing branches. The temperature inside the terrarium should be kept warm, between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity level should be kept high, between 70 and 80%.

It is also essential to provide a water bowl for your frog to soak in. The water should be changed weekly, and the bowl should be disinfected regularly.

If you consider getting a Tiger Leg Tree Frog, be sure to do your research first. With proper care, these beautiful frogs can make great pets! While they are not the most difficult frogs to care for, they have specific needs that must be met to thrive.
