Striped Tree Frog Biography
The American green tree frog varies in color from a light lime green to a dark olive green and will sometimes have a brown tinge. They have a creamy white to yellow stripe on their sides and creamy white bellies. While extreme changes in color, for example turning and staying a very yellow-green or a dark brown, can indicate stress or illness, changing shades of colors is a normal and natural process for these frogs. Part of these variations in color are an indicator of mood changes, and part of them are a means of camoflauge. Green tree frogs will reach an average size of 2 inches with a range of 1&1/4 to 2&1/2 inches in length, snout to vent. Males are usually smaller than females and have yellow to greenish-yellow throats. Upon reaching sexual maturity at approximately 1 year of age, males will begin to call. The call starts out quietly ad quickly builds to a constant WOK!, WOK!, WOK! that lasts for uo to 20 seconds. Females have creamy white throats and will only make a short brief response call to a male or a distress call when annoyed by being handled or another frog sitting on them. The average life span for a Green tree frog in captivity is 2 to 5 years.
