The waxy monkey tree frog is an arboreal animal and rarely comes to the ground. During the day they lie quietly on trees sleeping or basking in the sun, and at night they crawl among the treetops in search of food. Instead of jumping around like other frogs, they use their limbs to crawl like monkeys.
Unlike most tree frogs, the waxy monkey tree frog prefers a dry environment and supplements its vitamins and calcium by basking in the sun.
Waxy monkey tree frogs can adapt to dry environments and hot sun exposure. They secrete special lipid substances through the glands behind their ears and back, and apply them to the whole body with their limbs to prevent the loss of water in the body. The urine is also in the form of uric acid. Drain to reduce water loss. This behavior is also the origin of the name "wax white monkey"
In captivity, they usually feed on insects that are low in fat and high in protein (e.g.cricket,Dubyaetc.), the feeding environment needs to be ventilated and breathableReptile tanketc., the temperature can be controlled at around 25-30°C. It is recommended to use natural light and smaller wattage for sunlight supplement.uvb light.climb,basinand enrichment are also essential in raising waxy monkey tree frogs
Note: The color of the back can change with the environment, ranging from light green to cyan, dark green, and brown. The body color may change due to environmental changes when shipped, and it can be restored after stable feeding.
