Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- red-eyed tree frog are one of the most common pet amphibians, and on my last day in Costa Rica, I look into how they are living in the wild so we better know how to care for them in our homes/ Agalychnis callidryas, known as the red-eyed tree frog, is an arboreal hylid native to Neotropical rainforests where it ranges from Mexico, through Central America, They are the most recognizable frog in the world!

I've been waiting for this one!
We have a saying in this part of 🇨🇷 Costa Rica (Southwest Pacific corner) 80 degrees, 80% humidity, 80 percent of the time.
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
I'm gonna say this again Dav you have one of the most underrated channels on here. Your vids and the educational is by far the best. Nobody else is going out and showing us how they live in the wild and the educational part of it has well if there is another channel doing this yours is the best brother.
My favourite type of video. Love the in-depth investigations and expositions of the animals you feature in the "are we keeping them correctly"-videos.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them!
this is the first time i've ever wanted a hangover
This was incredibly informitive Dav! You covered so much and didn't just spout something you read, you showed it right up front! Very well done. I appreciate the calm demeanor.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a delight to be in Costa Rica! Thoroughly enjoyed your focus on these gorgeous little frogs.
The morphs and the way they walk is so cool!!
WOW! Mike has an amazing grasp on what they need and goes through a lot to get and match the information. Beautiful frogs! Blue is my favorite color and I like it with that shade of green.
I’m all about those Caribbean blues
Saw you first in the buildoff video and decided to check out your videos today. I'm binging!
Cool af, as always. Those frogs are amazing. The morphology, the colors...mmmwah!
10:24 is my reaction too when I see Dav has posted a new video.
Very beautiful frog!!
Fascinating! I can’t get enough of your videos lately, thanks for this.
Awesome information u are a great fun explainer, it has inspired me to get them Brian Howie from Edinburgh Scotland
I love the part where he introduces the app that lets him know what plants he’s looking at
Did you see the bull that was being said about Kevin and NERD? Donny did an awesome rebuttal video🥰
For a while this was like Dav Kaufman’s Botany Adventures.
love the video mate crazy cool frogs. 😁
Sweet adventure Dāv!
Thanks bro!
Perfect timing, I was just getting curious about these little guys
this is AMAZING thank you so much!
Glad you like it!
They are both beautiful!
I really love that you took time to examine some of the foliage too! The biodiversity in areas like this is insaaaane.
The first time I saw a leaf frog was in Siquirres (Costa Rica) there was frogs all over even salamanders and snakes back in Panama I can't perceive that amount of diversity.
Here in Panama we have found them and poison arrow frogs in our yard. And we are nearly in Panama City but in a green area.
Solid work!
Thanks!
Great video and enjoy yourself in Puerto Rico amazing stuff there
Amazing video, thanks for the info! Maybe a dart frog in the wild video would be fun? I would really love it and it would be usefull for beginning dart frog keepers like me
Awesome vid man. About to start a build for them and this helped. Thanks for making it. Is there a link to mike novies you tube or anything? Tried to find it but no luck.
I recently stumbled upon your channel and i really like the content. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Glad to hear that!
I actually bought a couple of retf’s from mike at an expo and they’re doing great. I wish I hadn’t lost his business card
Happy new year .. wish you could do it( at least 1 reptile video) here in the Philippines. Rattle on idol!
This was awesome. Can you do false chameleons if possible.
Utterly epic, thank you Dav!
Happy New Year!
#RattleOn
Thanks my friend! Happy new year to you as well!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Thank you very much sir!
Tree frogs are so cool!! Will you be at the Reptile Super Show in Pomona this January?
I sure will be
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures yay!! I hope to see you there!!
Usually best to leave a hygrometer to stabilise for more accurate reading of relative humidity, maybe ten minutes. Note how it was dropping in the video.
Also Mike has some beatutiful frogs !! I love them so what is his website ? how do I get a hold of him?
Wonderful video. Thank you. I love the Nicaraguan morph. I am not into the new created morphs.
I know your not supposed to touch those egg masses, but i can't hwlp but keep thinking..... "I wanna touch that".
re watching this video. just curious do the locals protect the red eyes and their watering holes?
Would I be correct in assuming the same care would apply to Lemur leaf frogs? I'm struggling to find comprehensive care guides for the species. Also what would be the best method to maintain that temperature in a paludarium that's in 75 degrees day/night ambient temps? In an Exoterra 36x36x18 Paludarium I have a mistaking set to go off 4 times per day @20 seconds and an ink bird controlled exhaust fan on the lighthood to maintain humidity. TIA!
I think I'd prefer the orang/browns more than the blues as well.
Should i use a ceramic heater?
are they super loud at night - i have a small condo lol
Do you happen to have one like this for Royal Pythons
Please make a dart frogs in the wild
The violet red eye tree frogs are younger than the others?
What plant app are you using?!
nice
Thanks!
was once told to look for those white spots as signs of Chytridiomycosis.. however could never follow that up with literature.. What are those white dots? they do not belong there 2:46
Who is the breeder that was in this video, does he have UA-cam?
In my experience, prolonged exposure to UVB can be harmful to dendrobatids, as well as a lot of other diurnal herpetofauna like Gonatodes species.
I do not agree with the statement that being diurnal makes UVB necessary.
The day/night temps seem dead on from what I have found success with RETFs. The humidity seems high. I think you were bringing us readings from the breeding season, the wet season. 70%-80% day/ 90%+ night. That's breeding weather. Rain chambers run 100% humidity, but as Mike mentioned- rain chambers are stressful. I think you can keep them comfortably with 60%-70% day humidity and 70%-80% at night (non-breeding season).Higher temps and higher humidity equals faster bacterial and fungal growth. Clean is your friend. Another interesting thing you showed is how slim the body form of the wild frogs is. We tend to see overweight frogs in the hobby. A gravid female is the only plump RETF you will see in nature. Overfeeding is also stressful. Feed with variety, use your supplements and don't over feed them.
Thanks for the video, I think more people would enjoy these frogs if they knew how to keep them and didn't have anxiety about it. Those of us who've kept and bred them for years also want the newbies to know: buy a captive bred frog- get them from Mike if you can, but never buy wild caught.
Thanks for your awesome input!
I didn't know that they were called leaf frogs🤯 I've started calling (milk snakes) red kings 😁 So Leaf Frogs it is🥰
Relative humidity is dependent upon the temperature. Why did the humdity increase at night? It increased ONLY because the temperature went down. There isn’t suddenly more water in the air…. Simply put, the relative humidity in an enclosure will always drop at night IF the temperature drops a few degrees. People don’t need to be adding more water at night to make that happen. It will happen due to the basic properties of air to hold different amounts of water at different temperatures. For those that truly want to understand the science, please, please please take some time to research the equations that are used to determine relative humidity. It will be enlightening!
Thanks for saying this! Totally agree
It's a shame that in indonesia there are very few who sell the red eye tree frog, so i keep the wallace flying frog
we call them roodoogmakikikker (red eyed lemur frog).
What are the odds that the guy who breeds frogs has warts on his hands lol
If they're gonna feel any predator climbing up the stalk of the plant, then why aren't they waking up with you moving them around every which way?
There's no such thing as a "true name" when it comes to species. Animals are whatever people call them. Even words like "frog" and "toad" are genetically nonsensical and based on centuries old mis-attributions based on phenotypes. The quintessential "tree frog" isn't a tree frog? As opposed to what? They literally live in trees, even as eggs. You know what a tree is? Nothing. There is no Class, Order, Family, etc. called "trees". Trees are random unrelated plants that grew up instead of out so we call them trees. They are polyphyletic. As are frogs.
The red-eyed tree frog's "true name" is red-eyed tree frog, to millions of people. In Spanish, the language spoken where they actually live, they are often called rana de ojos rojos (red eyed frogs) but they are still considered "tree frogs". I've been casually obsessed with frogs for over 30 years, I've never even heard the term "leaf frog". As opposed to bark? Or ground? There is a species called "lemur leaf frog, which is in the same genus as the red-eyed, and they look very similar except for coloring. But the lemur leaf frog is also considered a tree frog.
Side rant. Buffalo are buffalo. You can call them bison. But if 100 million people call them buffalo, they're buffalo. That's how words and names work.
Using gloves while handling amphibians would be appreciated by viewers and the frogs 🐸
Here in india's western ghats we have a very similar species of frogs that looks like the red eyed tree frogs, it's called the Malabar gliding frog.
I'd love to find those one day
This video makes me feel so Happy. Maybe things really are getting back to normal.🌍
Glad to hear that! Sure seems like it
We can only hope
This didnt age well..
I was blown away at how you was able to name every single plant lol 😅😅😅😅 your amazing Dave your one of the reasons I love reptiles and amphibians to this day you have passion and knowledge. You’re the G.O.A.T in this industry and this life. 🎉🎉🎉
Dave could you please tell me if the small white dots are typical or are they parasites? Thank you.
I wondered that as well and as far as I can tell it's just debris from the plants
Love this series! Great job!
Thanks bro! Glad you enjoy it!
As someone who has seen them wild and bred them i have to say great job. Also thank you as this is great for setting up the Biotope paludarium tank video i am working on. For the care stuff i can just leave a link to your video and focus on enclosure design.
Thanks for the video.
After years I learned to recognize the calling and their habitat, but I noticed they love to hide in mud ponds and what we call monte or bushes not like the fancy photos of them sleeping on bromeliads and orchids😂
Love this video series about the reptiles we keep that are living in the wild! I hope to see more of these in the future 🙌
(Sorry if my wording is bad)
Why are the frogs eyes red? They stayed up binge watching the new Kobra Kai season. 😂 RATTLE ON!
lol!
I love your videos!! They are so informative and I get to see amazing animals!!! Thank you!😁
Glad you like them!
Thanks Dave! I have some Of these guys at home and I visited my family in panama and Costa Rica and couldn’t find one, with this video you’ve helped me so much!
Yaaaay dav! Red eyed tree frogs where always my fav as a kid. And we have some weird tree frogs here in the upper peninsula that hangout all over this one light house right by me here.. Its haunted supposedly all i know is there's tons of sticky footed tree frogs all over the thing inside. Ill try finding a pic and dming you it. Or better yet lets go herping up here this year guyssss 😅😲💛 happy new year hope this year treats all of us a little better.
The only thing like better than haunted places is herping them! Happy new year to as well!
I used to find Gray Tree Frogs up in the UP when I was a kid, maybe those are what you're seeing. They're super cool.
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures one day my friend we will herp up here.. There alot more turtles frogs toads etc than people think in a place that is this cold. I think it would make a fantastic video. Specially when everyone comes out in spring the biiig pine snakes etc. Of course you can knock out a fishing adventure or two up here too 😉😁😅
I mean we are having a cold snap right now its only 10 outside with over a foot of snow and ice supposed to be -10 over night by the end of the week.. Always wondering about the cold blooded etc animals when this happens ya know. I almost feel bad about it hahaha. But yes haunted places are def my favorite. Its the stonington lighthouse on the stonington peninsula.
@@mikeayers8951 could very well be.. We just call them sticky foots cause well.... They have sticky feet lmao. Theyre all over the place right in that one specific area. And thats the place all the monarch butterflies migrate too also. The entire peninsula at the very end that has the lighthouse im talking about is a gathering place for the butterflies too. Its beautiful im sure if you search upper peninsula stonington peninsula butterflies itll show you it. Beautiful.
I need some help from an experienced person who knows reptile habitats. I need to know what would be the best solution to seal the inside of a wood-built habitat, base and side, where dirt/substrate will see moisture and all the other things Tegu lizards do? I will be building the 4 x 8 bottom half enclousure soon. I will paint the outside with some sort of durable paint to make look nice but I want the inside to be as tough as nails and last years.
Wow cool albino and melanistic treefrog
i know ur talking about crepuscular frogs but do you recommend that for crepuscular geckos as well? (for the uv light)😁
Costa Rica a paradise for these frogs .so cute .love this expedition you took us on
Can you do Amazon milk frogs?
Can u do a video like this of Pac-Man frogs their day and night habits and weather /temps night drops any info Thanks
Thank for the information! good looks! Also what are those white spots on some of them?
New channel idea!!!
Davs horticulture adventure!
Great video! 🌞
I must do it now lol :)
This channel deserves millions of subs! 🐸
Thanks Lori!
I want a reptile or amphibian but my mom keeps it like 65F in our home and our humidity is like 17 percent on a good day, I am afraid I won't be able to maintain the proper temps and humidity. I have never owned a long term pet reptile I use to find them at my childhood homes from box turtles to frogs but I never kept them more than a day or even that long cause I knew as a child they wouldn't want to live in my house. Any advice would be awesome! I hope you and yours had a wonderful xmas and a Happy New year!
01-02-2022 Good Sunday evening Dāv. Happy New Year!
Can we assume that just because an animal can live at a certain temperature, that's what's best for them? Imagine if some alien zookeepers abducted humans from Death Valley and decided that was the temperature we like to live at. Too bad we can't just ask them.
Great video...just got one for my sister...they are sooo awesome....they have the wow factor...those eyes in person though!
My favorite way to breed is to have a paludarium and simply raise humidity for a couple days when it is time to breed.
Maybe I'm a red-eyed tree frog. Cuz I'm up all night sleep all day.
Did you arrive during the mating season, or do they have it all the time? I have two at home. They are really young. And they are Brother and sister. So Im afraid they might not care, and start getting ideas at some point.
Idk what time of year you were there but dude it’s like between 80 to 90 degrees most of the time I’m Costa Rica
That's amazing! just like Coqui's 😆
Those cookie frogs were pretty awesome :)
I like how you say they’ll open there eyes if they even feel a predator walking on the leaf you walk up turn the leaf frogs none the wiser not a great defence tbh
Nice. So what's a 'Fahrenheit'?
i love the caribbean blues
I love them both but I'd have to say the blues🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love red eye tree frogs, I just wish they were not illegal where I am.
It’s a leaf frog people are confused
Thank you for choose us how do the proper way thank you
