RED-EYED TREE FROGS IN THE WILD! (are we keeping them correctly?)

red-eyed tree frog are one of the most common pet amphibians, and on my last day in Costa Rica, I look into how they are living in the wild so we better know how to care for them in our homes/ Agalychnis callidryas, known as the red-eyed tree frog, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, They are the most recognizable frog in the world!

I've been waiting for this one! We have a saying in this part of 🇨🇷 Costa Rica (Southwest Pacific corner) 80 degrees, 80% humidity, 80 percent of the time. Great video!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@lizdyson3627]

This video makes me feel so Happy. Maybe things really are getting back to normal.🌍

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Glad to hear that! Sure seems like it

[@yobum1894]

We can only hope

[@Xc31]

This didnt age well..

[@billythekid6509]

I'm gonna say this again Dav you have one of the most underrated channels on here. Your vids and the educational is by far the best. Nobody else is going out and showing us how they live in the wild and the educational part of it has well if there is another channel doing this yours is the best brother.

[@jettburns1997]

I really love that you took time to examine some of the foliage too! The biodiversity in areas like this is insaaaane.

[@TheBlackZodiacGhost]

My favourite type of video. Love the in-depth investigations and expositions of the animals you feature in the "are we keeping them correctly"-videos.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!

this is the first time i've ever wanted a hangover

[@shamik_sathe]

Here in india's western ghats we have a very similar species of frogs that looks like the red eyed tree frogs, it's called the Malabar gliding frog.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'd love to find those one day

I must do it now lol :)

[@herpdiversity9152]

As someone who has seen them wild and bred them i have to say great job. Also thank you as this is great for setting up the Biotope paludarium tank video i am working on. For the care stuff i can just leave a link to your video and focus on enclosure design.

[@corncob2701]

Thanks Dave! I have some Of these guys at home and I visited my family in panama and Costa Rica and couldn’t find one, with this video you’ve helped me so much!

[@suprisedfrog2784]

Love this video series about the reptiles we keep that are living in the wild! I hope to see more of these in the future 🙌 (Sorry if my wording is bad)

[@TheDeer.]

The Caribbean blues are my favorite, I think that blues look amazing on animals

[@amandastakeonit7402]

WOW! Mike has an amazing grasp on what they need and goes through a lot to get and match the information. Beautiful frogs! Blue is my favorite color and I like it with that shade of green.

[@kyleerosee3]

Yaaaay dav! Red eyed tree frogs where always my fav as a kid. And we have some weird tree frogs here in the upper peninsula that hangout all over this one light house right by me here.. Its haunted supposedly all i know is there's tons of sticky footed tree frogs all over the thing inside. Ill try finding a pic and dming you it. Or better yet lets go herping up here this year guyssss 😅😲💛 happy new year hope this year treats all of us a little better.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

The only thing like better than haunted places is herping them! Happy new year to as well!

[@mikeayers8951]

I used to find Gray Tree Frogs up in the UP when I was a kid, maybe those are what you're seeing. They're super cool.

[@kyleerosee3]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures one day my friend we will herp up here.. There alot more turtles frogs toads etc than people think in a place that is this cold. I think it would make a fantastic video. Specially when everyone comes out in spring the biiig pine snakes etc. Of course you can knock out a fishing adventure or two up here too 😉😁😅 I mean we are having a cold snap right now its only 10 outside with over a foot of snow and ice supposed to be -10 over night by the end of the week.. Always wondering about the cold blooded etc animals when this happens ya know. I almost feel bad about it hahaha. But yes haunted places are def my favorite. Its the stonington lighthouse on the stonington peninsula.

[@kyleerosee3]

@@mikeayers8951 could very well be.. We just call them sticky foots cause well.... They have sticky feet lmao. Theyre all over the place right in that one specific area. And thats the place all the monarch butterflies migrate too also. The entire peninsula at the very end that has the lighthouse im talking about is a gathering place for the butterflies too. Its beautiful im sure if you search upper peninsula stonington peninsula butterflies itll show you it. Beautiful.

Love seeing these frog vids. Live in Panama so I see some of this in my back yard as well. Such great education for kids and adults alike. Keep them coming Dav

[@seanmcgonigle6296]

Love this video format, you learn so much about the species by seeing it in the wild and that makes it so much easier to understand their care requirements in captivity

Dave could you please tell me if the small white dots are typical or are they parasites? Thank you.

I wondered that as well and as far as I can tell it's just debris from the plants

[@jerrywildlife]

Very beautiful frog!!

[@truenewxd9283]

hi Dav mate your vids of are we keeping them right are so informative love the dedication you have is there any chance you can do 1 of these for the western Australian frog speices we have here as alot of care sheets that are here don't go into as much detail as you do .

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'd love to do that one day!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Me too. I always like to get the best ideas for how to design terrariums and going to the source is the best way

[@jasonmunoz1528]

After years I learned to recognize the calling and their habitat, but I noticed they love to hide in mud ponds and what we call monte or bushes not like the fancy photos of them sleeping on bromeliads and orchids😂

[@rodneymiller4453]

Here in Panama we have found them and poison arrow frogs in our yard. And we are nearly in Panama City but in a green area.

[@miaolindias]

This is awesome! I didn't even know they had morphs!

Great video and enjoy yourself in Puerto Rico amazing stuff there

[@jasonmunoz1528]

The first time I saw a leaf frog was in Siquirres (Costa Rica) there was frogs all over even salamanders and snakes back in Panama I can't perceive that amount of diversity.

[@crittergirl3647]

Ooooooo…between you & Snake Discovery videos right now, it’s time to book a trip to Costa Rica!

[@mollieman4639]

Amazing video, thanks for the info! Maybe a dart frog in the wild video would be fun? I would really love it and it would be usefull for beginning dart frog keepers like me

[@jericosha2842]

Must take a lot of patience do have footage in different locations around the world until you can make a full video. It took this video to the next level. Awesome job.

[@herpdiversity9152]

My favorite way to breed is to have a paludarium and simply raise humidity for a couple days when it is time to breed.

[@af7409]

Usually best to leave a hygrometer to stabilise for more accurate reading of relative humidity, maybe ten minutes. Note how it was dropping in the video.

[@ahmednh1]

I actually bought a couple of retf’s from mike at an expo and they’re doing great. I wish I hadn’t lost his business card

I love red eyed tree frogs. I have always found it so amazing that they lay their eggs on the underside of leaves, and not just in the water or mud like I have always seen here in MN. Just out of curiosity, are leaf frogs still in the general tree frog family, hylidae?

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

They aren't in the same genus or family actually

I want a reptile or amphibian but my mom keeps it like 65F in our home and our humidity is like 17 percent on a good day, I am afraid I won't be able to maintain the proper temps and humidity. I have never owned a long term pet reptile I use to find them at my childhood homes from box turtles to frogs but I never kept them more than a day or even that long cause I knew as a child they wouldn't want to live in my house. Any advice would be awesome! I hope you and yours had a wonderful xmas and a Happy New year!

[@nataliesreptiles]

Why are the frogs eyes red? They stayed up binge watching the new Kobra Kai season. 😂 RATTLE ON!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

lol!

[@GettingthruLife]

I need some help from an experienced person who knows reptile habitats. I need to know what would be the best solution to seal the inside of a wood-built habitat, base and side, where dirt/substrate will see moisture and all the other things Tegu lizards do? I will be building the 4 x 8 bottom half enclousure soon. I will paint the outside with some sort of durable paint to make look nice but I want the inside to be as tough as nails and last years.

Saw these guys in Tortuguero. 70% humidity is what’s recommended in the hobby. Our readings during the dry season was a lil less than 80% in Red Eye epicenters. Just two cents to think on.

Thanks for this! Good info to know.

[@tobiasthomsen1981]

Please make a dart frogs in the wild

[@taylorhickman84]

Would I be correct in assuming the same care would apply to Lemur leaf frogs? I'm struggling to find comprehensive care guides for the species. Also what would be the best method to maintain that temperature in a paludarium that's in 75 degrees day/night ambient temps? In an Exoterra 36x36x18 Paludarium I have a mistaking set to go off 4 times per day @20 seconds and an ink bird controlled exhaust fan on the lighthood to maintain humidity. TIA!
