Habitat & Setup
Tank Size
20 galones altos (18x18x24 pulgadas / 45x45x60 cm) mínimo para un adulto; 30 galones altos o más grandes para una pareja
Substrate
Fibra de coco o mezcla bioactiva (tierra vegetal + fibra de coco + musgo sphagnum); toallas de papel para cuarentena. Evitar grava, arena o trozos de corteza — riesgo de impactación y químico.
Lighting
UVB de bajo nivel (5.0 / T5 HO 6%) recomendado — investigaciones emergentes apoyan firmemente el UVB para la salud de los anfibios y la síntesis de vitamina D3. Ciclo de luz/oscuridad de 12 horas con temporizador. La emisión de UVB se degrada cada 6–12 meses; reemplazar según el horario incluso si la bombilla aún brilla.
Temperature
Basking
85–88°F (29–31°C) — punto cálido opcional proporcionado por una bombilla de bajo vataje o un panel de calor
Cool Side
72–75°F (22–24°C)
Night
65–75°F (18–24°C) — puede tolerar descensos breves a 60°F (15°C)
Humidity: 50–80% con fluctuación diaria
Rociar un lado del terrario cada noche; permitir que el otro lado se seque parcialmente. Una humedad constante del 80%+ sin flujo de aire causa infecciones bacterianas y fúngicas de la piel. El ciclo es clave — húmedo por la noche, más seco al mediodía.
Diet & Feeding
Diet Type
Insectívoro — los insectos vivos cargados de nutrientes son la dieta completa. Las ranas arborícolas de White no comen pellets comerciales ni fruta.
Schedule
Adultos: cada 2–3 días. Juveniles (menores de 6 meses): diariamente o cada dos días. Alimentar por la noche cuando las ranas están naturalmente activas.
Supplements
Espolvorear cada alimentación con calcio (sin D3 si se usa UVB; con D3 si no hay UVB). Espolvorear con un suplemento multivitamínico cada 2 semanas. Cargar de nutrientes los insectos 24–48 horas antes de alimentarlos con col rizada, batata o un producto comercial de carga de nutrientes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sí — las ranas arborícolas de White son una de las pocas especies de ranas que realmente toleran el manejo. Pero 'tolerar' es la palabra clave: no lo buscan. Lávate siempre las manos con jabón sin perfume y enjuágalas a fondo, luego humedécelas antes de coger a tu rana — la piel de las ranas absorbe los químicos directamente, por lo que los residuos de jabón, la loción para manos o la piel seca pueden causar quemaduras químicas o toxicidad. Limita las sesiones a 10–15 minutos y devuelve la rana si se inquieta. Nunca la manipules inmediatamente después de comer.
