Quick answer: American green tree frog is a variety of tree frogs. Everything on this page is tree frogs-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is tree frogs-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals: Amphibians and RSPCA — Amphibian advice. It applies to American green tree frog exactly as it applies to every other tree frogs variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Health: skin, weight and the chytrid reality
Healthy tree frogs sit alert, plump but not spherical, with clear eyes and smooth skin. Red flags: lethargy and excessive time in the water dish (often bacterial or chytrid fungus — an amphibian specialist vet is needed), redness or sores on the belly (red-leg bacterial infection — usually water quality), weight loss despite eating (parasites — bring a fecal sample), and 'spindly' posture. Quarantine new frogs in a separate simple tank 30 days; amphibian diseases spread silently through shared water tools.
Choosing and keeping groups
White's tree frogs tolerate groups of similar-sized individuals (they may try to eat anything frog-sized or smaller — size-match strictly). American greens are better in a species-only planted tank watched rather than handled. Red-eyed tree frogs: keep in groups but do not handle; they are display animals. Do not mix species — different temperature/humidity needs and one frog's toxins/pathogens can be another's problem. Male frogs call at night; White's 'bark' is loud enough to hear through a wall.
