    Yay!! I'm so excited to get my tree frogs gray tree frogs are so pretty, too. One more thing, how many would fit in a twenty-gallon tank. I heard one frog per 10-gallons. Just making sure

    Yep, I frog per 10 gallons is just perfect. It allows for their growth.

    They love to climb. It is a good idea to get your tank set up first to work out any quirks and get the settings such as temp and humidity right and then purchase your little guys.

    Are you going to use fake or live plants?

    Fake plants. I have all of the lighting figured out, all I need is bedding, more plants (so they can hide), and frog moss.. All of which I'm getting next week.

    Be careful with moss as it can cause impaction... I was always told for my Greys ONLY use SHEET moss or non at all. Also I'd recommend a SHALLOW water dish so they can bath... but have it shallow enough that it doesn't cover them. Leaf litter is a popular substitute for moss or useing it as well as.

    What lights are you useing for your Greys? Greys usuall don't need the heat... but seem to love sitting up close to them so you dont want to burn them. Id recommend a low/no heat UVA UVB bulb if you aren't already using that. You want heat in the 70 to 80 area... and humidity 60 to 70.

    I was thinking the same with the moss. If you use a feeding bowl the moss is ok.

    Grey's are so cute!

    Alright. I wasted my damn time on the Grays. Because today, I got a White's Tree frog. And damn I hope it's a girl. Anyways, she/he is so mellow. I love it. It will sit on my shoulder while I'm watching TV and she's doing it right now. What should I name it? :]
