If other males see the couple, they may try to fight the male off of the female and take his place. If they succeed, they get the chance to fertilize some eggs. Most frog species lay their eggs in the water. This particular tree frog lays them on the underside of leaves that hang over a body of water. The egg clutches develop into tadpoles quickly.
Tadpoles swim around in their egg cases until they burst open.
This rupturing of all the eggs occurs within a one-minute time frame. The fluid that is released witht he tadpoles helps to wash them down the leaf and into the water. Tadpoles metamorphose into tree frogs after 75 - 80 days. Life Span Unknown Social Habits Red-eyed tree frogs have a very musical mating ritual. When one male starts croaking the rest of the males in the area chime in as well.
