FEMALE - USA Captive Bred Clown Giraffe Tree Frog (Dendrosophus arndtii)

While Clown Giraffe frogs are related to other clown tree frogs more common in the hobby, this variant in the dendrosophus complex is anything but common. Dendrosophus arndtii has 3 distinct variations and we have produced all 3 in just 2 spawns of visual giraffe clown frogs. We are now undertaking the challenge to understand more about the genetics in D. arndtii. This project will likely take several years to unfold, but we are excited to play a part in bringing to light this rare, beautiful and intricately patterned clown frog.

General Information:

Here are some general care instructions for keeping clown frogs:

1. Habitat:
   - Provide a spacious vivarium with plenty of vertical space for climbing.
   - Use substrate like coconut husk or sphagnum moss to maintain humidity levels.
   - Include live plants for hiding spots and to help with humidity.

2. Temperature and Humidity:
   - Maintain a temperature range of 75-85°F during the day and slightly cooler at night.
   - Keep humidity levels between 60-80%. Regular misting will help achieve this.

3. Lighting:
   - Provide a 12-hour light cycle using a full-spectrum UVB light to simulate natural daylight.

4. Feeding:
   - Clown frogs are insectivores. Feed them a diet of appropriately sized crickets, roaches, and other feeder insects.
   - Dust their food with calcium and vitamin supplements regularly.

5. Handling:
   - Limit handling as much as possible to reduce stress on the frogs. When handling is necessary, do so with clean, damp hands to avoid harming their delicate skin.

6. Health:
   - Regularly monitor your frog's appearance and behavior for signs of illness.
   - If you notice any health concerns, consult with a veterinarian experienced in amphibian care.

Remember, providing a suitable environment and proper care is essential for the health and well-being of your clown giraffe frogs.

At Gecko Daddy we have a strong belief that as pet owners, we have the responsibility to care for our pets.

Pet Owner’s Oath
When I purchase an animal, I become responsible for its care. I am responsible to learn how to properly provide for its needs: its habitat, its diet, and its health. My animal wants to live and I want it to live. I will do all in my power to ensure that my animal has a long, healthy, and happy life. I am ready for this responsibility.

Purchasing an Animal From GeckoDaddy

When you decide which animal(s) you would like to purchase from Gecko Daddy, use the online shopping system to complete your purchase with credit card or PayPal or e-mail us at geckodaddy@gmail.com. Just list the id’s of the animal(s) you would like to purchase and we will reply with a detailed receipt. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, cashier’s checks and USPS money orders. We will make arrangements for shipping after purchase checks have cleared.

Shipping a Live Animal

A shipping fee of $50.00 (1-6 animals) will be added to your purchase. Geckos and frogs are shipped using UPS Next Day Air. Shipping days are M, T, or W as weather permits. We will take every precaution to make sure our animals arrive happy and healthy. Therefore, we will not ship animals in conditions that are not suitable for safe arrival (below 40 or above 94 degrees). We will hold animals as long as is necessary until weather permits safe shipping. Someone must be able to receive and sign for the animal on the specified arrival date or we will not ship.

In order to have a full shipping guarantee, you must be available to receive the package at the time of the delivery. If the package is left at your door we will not guarantee live arrival. If you accept the package at the time of delivery and the animal is not alive, we require that you call or email us within 1 hour. We may request that the gecko is shipped back to us before a refund is given. The buyer will pay shipping on replacement reptiles.

As of 2022, it is our preference to ship to a UPS Store or Customer Center for pick up. We will identify the closest options for you based upon your address and confirm your availability to do so. This reduces risk to the animals as they spend less time in delivery vehicles and there is less chance of a missed delivery. Some locations may charge a $5 pick up fee when you arrive to pick up your package.

Please see our International Shipping page for information about shipping our geckos internationally.

We can guarantee our animals are honestly represented in photos. We can guarantee that all other info presented on our site is accurate.
