Scaphiophryne marmorata
General Info:
Adult length up to 2.25".
The more plants and secluded areas within terrariums the better. Frogs have sensitive skin and generally would rather not be handled. If handling is desired, it is important to wash hands before and after handling. Some hoppers will even accept "tankmates" of similar size and temperament.
Temperature/Humidity:
Ideal daytime temperature for "hoppers" should range between 75 and 85 degrees. Nighttime temperature should remain between 65 and 70 degrees. The humidity for these frogs should be kept at or near 80 percent.
Lighting:
Most reptiles and some amphibians require ultraviolet lighting to maintain good health. Although nocturnal (mainly active at night) frogs don't require ultraviolet lighting, if it is part of the habitat design, it is recommended for 12 hours per day. The use of a timer will assist in maintaining an accurate schedule of light periods.
Feeding/Watering:
These frogs do well on a diet consisting of a variety of vitamin/calcium dusted insects such as small crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and small subterranean worms such as red wigglers. Fresh clean water should always be available in the form of a shallow bowl for soaking. Adult frogs should be fed 3-4 times per week. Juveniles can be fed daily.
