About

Dryophytes cinereus is an arboreal hylid widespread across the central and southeastern United States. Adults are 4-6 cm, females larger, with a slim body, projecting snout and large toe discs. Colour is usually yellowish green but ranges to reddish brown depending on surroundings, sometimes with pale yellow dorsal spots, and most individuals show a white stripe from the snout along the flank. It lives in open-canopy forest with permanent water and dense vegetation, and also in waterside woodland, grassland, farmland and towns, becoming strictly aquatic during hibernation and breeding. Males give low-frequency advertisement calls and defend territory with aggressive calls or wrestling that rarely causes injury. Keep it around 21-28 C, with a 38 litre tank suiting two or three frogs. Hardy and readily available, it is treated as a beginner's arboreal frog.
