Cope’s Grey Treefrog is a species of frog that occurs in Southerly regions throughout North America at lower elevations. As their name ‘Treefrog’ suggests they are generally found in woodland areas. They are easily confused with several species including Hyla versicolor, Grey Treefrog. They breed between May and August, en masse, with choruses of calls by the males. As a point of interest, like many frog species the skin secretions are known to be a known skin irritant to some people – but this is rare.
They are an easy species to keep in captivity, with of course some basic needs being met. They are best kept in a tall glass terrarium, of around 90cm tall. They are best kept in naturally planted terraria – and look stunning displayed with live plants and moss. This way they will thrive in an artificial slice of their natural habitat. However they can also thrive in a terrarium with artificial plants. Either way provide plenty of choice for climbing, perching and hiding – branches, cork bark and other décor will provide this. A water bowl large enough for bathing is a necessity, and 
spray them with tepid water daily to provide a high level of humidity – around 80-90{cb5d0a8cf0c44aef2db327d9ab0dba08dd09aed1126b509e5fa01d3aaa87fe47}. An ideal temperature is around 24-26C during the day, slightly dropping at night. Interestingly, this species is documented as surviving the very low temperatures of -8C – of course this shouldn’t be put to the test. Lighting can be provided by a low powered T5 UVB, the Arcadia Shadedweller is a popular choice – a variable photoperiod can be provided but it’s not essential.
Commercial livefood, of appropriate size, such as locusts, crickets and curly lies are avidly eaten. Always gutload the insects, and of course provide a balanced vitamin and mineral supplement by means of dusting beforehand.
