Is a Red Eye Tree Frog Right for Me?
Red Eye Tree Frogs can be very rewarding and fun to care for a more experienced pet parent! They are very laid back pets that are great for any noise or space restricted home. However, keep in mind that any amphibious animal is capable of carrying diseases such as Salmonella, so always washing your hands after touching your aquatic pet or any of its habitat items/substances is a must. It's generally advised to wear moistened, non-powdered gloves, as their skin absorbs moisture which makes them susceptible to bacteria and oil from human hands. Otherwise, these easy-going frogs are fairly easy to care for and make great pets for almost anyone!
