    Default Setting up a new enclosure for a single Whites tree frog.

    I have been told that my current enclosure is a bit short it is a Exo-terra
    Natural Terrarium Large/Low


    90 x 45 x 30 cm / 36” x 18” x 12” (WxDxH)

    Tomorrow I am going to get a taller eco-terra enclosure a 18X18X24
    and I will set it up like the one I now have with a all water bottom.
    But I need to find some thing for him to climb on.
    I would like to get a live plant but I don't know what kind of live plant that would be tall enough
    and like to have it roots in water.
    what do yall think.
    I was thinking of a peace Lilly but I think that the plant cant handle the weight of
    the frog.
    Bubba is almost 2.5in SNV
    I havent weighed him yet but I plan on getting a special scale just for him.
    I am open to suggestions.

    Honestly, I had better luck with fake branches, my whites killed the plants, they were too fat and just constantly jumped on them where it would just break down! Good luck

    Pothos is a good option as far as hardiness goes. It can really take a beating from a white's. But it wont hold the weight of a white's. I've thought of trying bamboo (the "lucky bamboo" kind) in my terrarium. It likes to be in water primarily. Another option is to do the bottom partially with land and partially water (false bottom type set up). That way you can plant your plants and still have water.

    You'll find he will like the taller tank. I hope you can find something to put in the other tank

    As far as set up I can't help you with the plants. Just like Blue, I've had better luck with fake plants. We have a very large piece of driftwood and my guys tend to like the magnetic mushroom ledges. They have 2 on either side of the tank a different heights.
