they can be handled occasionally, but you really shouldn't do it that often. Their skin is very permeable, and handling them can cause them to dry out too quickly, or they may absorb any oils/chemicals from your hands.

Tree frogs have delicate skin and should not be handled or 'played with'. What typically happens is that your skin is much drier than theirs, and your skin can 'stick' to theirs and then tear it when you pull away. Tree frogs are a creature to be enjoyed by the eyes. If you want a pet to hold, reptiles are the better choice.

We have 2 Whites, and they come out of the tank quite often, there's not much you can do with them but hold them. Just make sure your hands are washed and rinsed very well, wet hands are a little better then dry.

My daughter had one and held it once in a while, One thing you have to do is make sure it allways has water in his bowl, otherwise they can dry up very fast from the heater on the bottom of the tank. also it ate alot of crickets.

You should not handle most frogs.
