White’s tree frogs (Litoria caerulea) are medium-sized, nocturnal, arboreal amphibians from northern/eastern Australia and southern New Guinea. These frogs prefer tropical forest habitats, but they are also uniquely able to adapt to seasonally dry habitats as well. Instead of having to live near water like most frogs, White’s tree frogs live in trees with access to water via crevices in the trunk or water collected on the leaves.
White’s tree frogs grow 3-5” long on average, and have smooth skin, horizontal pupils, large round toe pads, and a distinctive ridge of flesh behind each eye. Coloring varies, but is generally gray-green or blue-green with a pale belly and pale gold eyes.
With good care, a pet White’s tree frog (also known as a dumpy tree frog or Australian green tree frog) can live up to 20 years. Due to their above-average hardiness, White’s tree frogs can make a good choice for first-time frog owners.
