Answer: Australia

They are pretty widespread throughout the northern part of Australia.

2. What is the scientific name for the White's tree frog?

Answer: Litoria caerulea

Hyla versicolor refers to the gray tree frog of North America, Hyla caerulea does not exist, and Rana catesbienna is the American bullfrog.

4. What are good food items to feed a White's tree frog in captivity?

These frogs are carnivores just like most frogs. A newborn mouse, though it can be fed, should not be fed to your White's tree frog very often as a newborn mouse is very fattening.

5. What is a unique fact about the skin of a White's tree frog?

These frogs, though they require some humidity, do not need as much as other frogs, due to waxy secretions from their skin.

These frogs are known for their loud, raspy barklike call. I often hear mine around the time I go to bed at night, and I love it! :)
