We stand behind these animals just like any animals bred at our facility. Besides the fact we’ll be offering more animals, what do you need to know about Josh’s Frogs Certified Breeder Partnership?

To learn more, please read our blog on the Josh's Frogs Certified Breeder Program.

Recommended Vivarium Size: The Reticulated Glass frog is very arboreal so a male and female pair should live in a 20 gallon or an 18x18x24 front opening tank. These frogs will need a lot of vegetation in their tanks to feel comfortable as they are fairly shy during the day. A water dish of clean water should be provided for these frogs at all times. Either biobedding or ABG topped with sphagnum should be provided for substrate. For Breeding conditions a water feature with moving water is required to stimulate breeding.

Temperature: 72-78

Humidity: 50-70%

Size: Males are ¾ ” and females are slightly larger at just under 1”

Age: The Reticulated Glass frog can live for about 5-8 years but may live longer with ideal care.

Feeding: As adults Glass frogs can eat ⅛ ” crickets and Hydei Fruit flies. They will also be fed similarly sized insects.

Sexing: Male Reticulated Glass frogs will be slightly smaller than females and emit advertisement calls. A male’s call is a light “sheet” but can also emit a “squeak” when it’s territory is invaded by another male. Males also have a white nuptial pad.

Color/Pattern: Reticulated Glass frogs are light green with light yellow circles that mimic their egg clutch. Its underbelly is partially transparent with its internal organs covered by a white guanine sheet.

Social Behavior: Male Reticulated Glass frogs are very territorial and will fight and potentially kill other males. It is advised that keepers keep only a male/female pair or a group that is female heavy unless a large amount of space is provided.

Breeding: These frogs will breed on leaves overhanging streams. They will lay clutches of about 35 eggs at a time. Parents are fairly protective of their eggs and will sit near the egg clutch and fend off predators that try to eat the tadpoles and males will release bladder water onto the clutch to prevent desiccation.

Development: Eggs take approximately 5-12 days to hatch and tadpoles will fall into the water below.

Tadpoles: Tadpoles may need moving water to thrive as they are typically found in streams. They will readily eat a variety of fish foods including Josh’s Frogs Tree Frog tadpole food. Tadpoles are known to partially bury themselves in the substrate for a time before becoming more visible later in development.

Natural Range: This species ranges from central Costa Rica, through Panama and the Pacific lowlands of western Colombia, south to Mata Real in Azuay Province in Ecuador. It has also been reported from the Department of Caldas in the middle Magdalena Valley, Colombia. It occurs below 400m. (IUCN)

Cool looking little fellow.

I just received mine today and s/he looks great. Looks to be in excellent condition. Already trying to escape. Watches me open the lid then watches me to see if s/he has a chance to get out. I love this little frog. Great addition to my other froggies. Thank you all again.
