Recommended Vivarium Size: Housing captive bred Black-webbed Flying frogs will require at least a 20 gallon or 18x18x24 front opening enclosure. A tank this size could house about 3-4 adult frogs.
Size: Adult Rhacophorus reinwardtii are medium sized, and there is a small size different between males and females. An adult male may reach about 2.5 inches. Females will be a bit larger and bulkier than a male, and measure just over 3 inches. Juvenile Black-webbed gliders will be about 1” long when they are sold at Josh’s Frogs.
Age: There is not any good data surrounding the average lifespan of Rhacophorus reinwardtii but like most other tree frogs they will most likely live for up to 5 years and probably longer with ideal care.
Feeding: Rhacophorus reinwardtii are capable of eating crickets of varying sizes their whole lives, starting at 1/8" and ending with 1" crickets at adulthood. This can be supplemented with small dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, and the occasional waxworm (as a treat). At Josh’s Frogs, we feed our Black-webbed Gliders primarily 1/4" crickets at the time of sale
Color/Pattern: Rhacophorus reinwardtii are a jade green color with a prominent black webbing between the toes on the all four legs. They have a cutaneous square shaped protrusion near the cloaca as adults.
Social Behavior: As with most frogs, Rhacophorus reinwardtii will be mostly solitary but can be kept in small groups with little aggression being displayed outside of the breeding season.
