Agalychnis Lemur Care Guide

Housing Requirements

• Terrarium Size: Maintain 70–75 °F (21–24 °C) during the day and allow a nighttime drop to 65–70 °F (18–21 °C). Avoid excessive heat
• Temperature: 70-75°F (22-26°C) during the day, 65-72°F (20-22°C) at night
• Humidity: Keep 80–100% relative humidity with frequent misting and consistent airflow.
• Lighting: Use gentle UVB lighting (2–5%) with a 12-hour day/night cycle to support circadian rhythm and vitamin D3 synthesis.

Substrate & Environment

• Use a well-draining substrate such as ABG mix, sphagnum moss, or a coco-fiber blend with a drainage layer.
• Incorporate live plants (pothos, bromeliads, philodendron) to maintain humidity and provide climbing structure.
• Offer ample foliage and cork bark to create shaded resting areas and vertical climbing options.
• Always provide clean, dechlorinated water in a shallow dish or misting system.

Diet & Feeding

• Feed appropriately sized crickets (⅛″–¼″) and other small insects.
• Feed juveniles daily and adults 3–4 times per week.
• Dust all prey with calcium and vitamin supplements at every feeding, alternating between calcium-only and multivitamin powders.

Breeding

• Frogs reach sexual maturity at 18–24 months.
• Successful breeding requires stable, established environments with high humidity and temperature fluctuations that simulate seasonal changes.
• Tadpoles can be raised communally; approximately 15 per 10-gallon tank provides good dispersion.

Special Notes

• Extremely sensitive to chemicals, chlorine, and temperature spikes — always use purified or RO water.
• Handle only when absolutely necessary, using wet, gloved hands to protect their delicate skin.
• Requires meticulous maintenance and regular misting to prevent desiccation or fungal stress.
• Quarantine all new animals for 30+ days
