The most suitable water temperature for developing frog larvae is a range that generally falls between 60F and 80F (15C to 27C). This temperature range supports optimal metabolic processes and healthy development. Fluctuations outside of this range can negatively impact growth rates and overall survival.
Maintaining a consistent temperature within the specified parameters is crucial for successful metamorphosis. Deviations can lead to developmental delays, increased susceptibility to disease, and even mortality. Historically, understanding and managing water temperature in both natural and artificial environments has been a cornerstone of successful amphibian rearing and conservation efforts.
