Thanks for your interest in our blog; interesting project, they are not easy to breed. Monkey frogs do not, as far as we know, range into areas that receive much of a cool season; rain showers are very important in stimulating them to breed. Keep them at 65-75 F for 2 months or so (I’d stay closer to 70-75F), during which time they will likely feed and bask a bit; reduce misting at this time as well. Day/light cycle can remain the same as usual, as there is not much fluctuation in their natural range. After that, place them in a rain chamber (please see<a href="http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatreptileblog/2010/07/12/constructing-a-rain-chamber-the-ultimate-amphibian-breeding-technique/" rel="nofollow"> this article)</a> and run the “rain” for 6-7 hours each night as well as intermittently during the day. If they are going to breed, they should do so within 2 weeks. Be sure to position many laying sites over the water – potted snake plants and peace lilies work well, have sturdy leaves and do fine with roots submerged. A balanced, varied diet before the cool season and after breeding is critical to their health. Please let me know if you need any further information. Good luck, enjoy and please keep me posted. I look forwards to hearing of your success! Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello Jacques, Frank Indiviglio here.

I mean, would you also drop their temperature and give them 4 weeks of darkness? Hi Frank,
Would you breed Waxy Monkey Tree Frogs the same way as described for the White’s and White-Lipped Tree Frogs? I mean, would you also drop their temperature and give them 4 weeks of darkness?
