    Default Ideal cage size for group of WTF

    Hi guys

    I have a small group (1 female and 3 females) of Whites Tree Frogs, currently their cage is inadequate and I will be upgrading them to a larger cage in the new year. I want to know what size would be best for a group of this size, but there are a few things I need to bear in mind. I know bigger is always better, but one of the things I need to think of most is heating. I have struggled for a while to keep the heat up in their already small cage, and as soon as I raised the heat I had an issue with humidity, which I have a solution for now. The next thing is costs. There is a huge price difference between a 60cm (23inches) and a 90cm (35inches). I would love some feedback from guys who are keeping WTF groups in tall vivs and what sizes they have so that I can get some insights. I really do understand from keeping monitor lizards that the bigger the cage is always better, but unfortunately there are these factors that are huge decision makers for me.

    Hi ,
    Sadly, there is a big difference in $$.
    I believe it is best to go as big as you possibly can.
    I have my red eyes in the exo terra 36H by 36 wide, and my black eyes in the 36H X 24 W.
    Your charges would be happy in either
