Borneo Eared Tree Frog
| Place of Origin and Range | The Borneo Eared frog, file-eared tree frog or bony-headed flying frog is a species of frog found in Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. |
| Description | This frog has tan colouration, is moderately large size and has bony flanges. |
| Adult Size | Can grow up to 3 in (7.5 cm) |
| Accommodation | These frogs "prefer habitats with plentiful floating vegetation, grasses, and cattails" and are often found in "small ponds, large lakes, marshes, and streams also can be found at night in a backyard swimming pool. Unlike many amphibians, they do not require artificial heating. They need a large (at least ten-gallon) terrarium and do best with a substrate that will hold some humidity, such as commercial shredded bark or coconut husk bedding, or untreated topsoil on the floor of their terrarium. A shallow water dish should be included. Captive frogs should not be handled any more than necessary; when necessary, clean gloves should be worn. . A source of UV light is not required, and ambient temperature of 72 to 77 °F (22 to 25 °C) is sufficient. |
| Lifespan | Unknown, Believed to be 6+ years |
| Feeding / Diet | These frogs are insectivores, usually consuming flies, mosquitoes, and other small insects such as crickets. One study suggested the frog selects prey not by its size, but according to its activity level, with the most active prey being the most frequently eaten. |
