Varanophile Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Whites Tree Frogs or Green Tree Frogs (Litoria caerulea) were introduced to NZ but have not been seen in the wild for many years. Does anyone know anything about their introduction to NZ and areas where they were found? I know some were sold through a pet shop in west Auckland (lol) in the early 80's and they have been kept at Ti Point previously. I did see one in the early 90's and it was supposedly very old. No info on the net abotut them in NZ..weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broms2 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 http://www.nzfrogs.org/NZ+Frogs/Introduced+frogs.html this has some info on the whites inroduction into Nz would be awesome if a population was found here as there is documentation to them being here for many years so should be the same as the other Aussie frogs we can keep.
