White's Tree Frog

White's Tree Frogs are known for their exceptional longevity in captivity, often living up to 16 years. This is significantly longer than many other amphibian species kept as pets. Their docile temperament also contributes to their popularity among exotic pet owners.

White's Tree Frogs are native to Australia and New Guinea. In Australia, they are commonly found in the northern and eastern regions. They are highly adaptable and can thrive in both tropical forests and suburban areas.

The White's Tree Frog is often called the "dumpy frog" because of its tendency to become overweight in captivity. They have heavy, plump bodies and a docile, lazy demeanor. Proper diet management is important to prevent obesity in pet frogs.

The scientific name of the White's Tree Frog is Litoria caerulea. It was originally classified under the genus Hyla before being moved to Litoria. The species name "caerulea" means blue, referencing the slightly greenish-blue hue of their skin.
