Tomato Frog

Tomato Frogs are exactly what they sound like-bright, round and red colored frogs. However, it is not uncommon for younger frogs to be appear more of a brownish red. They will grow into their color, think of it as a tomato ripening. You can keep Tomato Frogs in small groups in a 10 gallon terrarium. These frogs are notorious for hiding and will burrow, so décor should be provided for hiding and substrate should be deep enough for them to burrow. Moss is also a great option to promote humidity and provide further hiding spaces. Always provide frogs with an ample, clean water source.

Please note: It is important to wash your hands before and after holding or interacting with a frog. This important for their safety and yours.

Wearing latex gloves while handling amphibians will not only protect you from salmonella and other potential toxins secreted by the amphibian, it also protects the amphibian from any oils, salts, lotions, or perfumes on your hand. Gloves should be worn every time you handle your pet amphibian. Washing your hands before and after will also help prevent the potential to spread diseases such as salmonella, of which all amphibians are potential carriers.
