New to forum and to frog keeping :-)

[CmdrVimes]

Hi, I am a 36 y/o Mum of two, my Daughter Bronnie was 13 in August, and my Son Euan was 10 in July, we live in a small village just outside Cannock with my Fiancé Simon.

We have a "houseful" of pets, including snakes, lizards, tarantulas, love birds, a dog, a cat, a marine reef tank, a tortoise and turtles outside.

On a really good day, I like to design and create greeting cards and jewellery for the special occasions of family and good friends. On a not so good day, I sit on my *** on my tablet socialising (forumksing, playing social games and going on G+, FB and Twitter) and playing android games. On a stupidly evil day, I sit propped up, or lie back in my riser/recliner chair and just rest, or sleep.

I have always had an interest in frogs, I was looking at Dart Frogs in 2008, I can't remember why I didn't get them in the end, I THINK it was a combination of cost and space.

Anyway, Simon's exo-terra will be free when he upgrades his Gecko enclosure, (45 x 45 x 60) and as I have always had an interest in frogs, Simon asked me if I wanted it for a frog. I would like to set it up for a gorgeous Whites tree frog. (here is where you guys tell me that the exo-terra isn't big enough for a whites?)

The plan is to swap my plastic craft drawer unit out for a custom made wooden shelving unit that will fit all my drawers in, then Simon will put the Exo-terra on top of that for me. Then Simon can hook it up to his already running mist-king, so we don't have to manually mist it!

Back to my intro, I look forward to getting to know you all. :-)

Kind regards,

Hello! And I think you will have some happy frogs!!!! WELCOME TO THE FORUM

Hi and welcome! Sounds like setting up your tank or enclosure would be alot of fun. I'd have more than one frog though (I have 2) and will check out your type of frog. Mine are land/water FBT's. I have 60% water, 40% land, pebbles with land area of eco earth fiber substrate, driftwood, fake soft green plants that curve downward so they feel safe, tree house, small terra cotta pot for hiding, several smooth oval rocks, small submersible heater, small thermometer, and live plants in the water. I just know frogs like to climb on something and they like hiding places. Toads maybe like muddy or damp conditions, like to bury themselves. Both eat live food. With your type of frog, I'm guessing he would like a tree. Mine look bored at times but their sight is not good enough to see my tv to watch nat'l geo channel. I wonder if anyone makes frog toys. I guess bugs are their toys, but that's why I bought mine a tree house (plastic but looks like wood). Hope this helped.

Okay, now what does a Whites tree frog look like and how big are they? Are these in the US or are they in the UK? I'll look up their picture tonight. Stores don't sell them here...

Just found picture of your frog, they are really cute. How big do they get?

[CmdrVimes]

Havent got them yet :-)

I am still trying to sort out a suitable shelving unit for my craft stuff, I may just have to pay my Dad to make it for me....

I am ever more eager to get myself sorted with a frog though, so I need to start moving.

Oh, maybe you can write when you get one? Well, I hope you get two. But, they're just as cute as a FB! I still have four and have to buy crickets once a week. I offer mealworms but they crawl and fall into the water and drown before frogs get to them.
