Banded Rubber Frog

The Banded Rubber Frog is a striking amphibian known for its glossy black body and bold red or orange bands. Despite its flashy colors, it’s a shy species that spends much of its time hiding under logs or burrowed into damp substrate. Its smooth, rubbery skin gives it a unique texture and helps retain moisture in its semi-arid environment.

Native to Sub-Saharan Africa, this terrestrial frog thrives in a humid terrarium with plenty of hiding spots, shallow water, and soft substrate. Though not ideal for handling due to sensitive skin, it’s a fantastic display species that adds vibrant contrast and intrigue to any amphibian collection.

🌿 Care Notes:

Maintain temperatures between 75–82°F with humidity around 60–80%. Offer a mix of moss, soil, and cork hides for enrichment, and feed a varied diet of small crickets, mealworms, and other soft-bodied insects.
