Update: The terrarium has arrived and he has been rehoused! Feedings have been going well, and I think he will be much happier overall. I have attached some pics so you can see what I did.
These show the before and after, as well as the frog.
Let me know what you think, as well as any improvements that should be done.
The frog looks really good, only thing I would suggest is maybe a large leaf potted plant to help with humidity and for him to hang out on during the day while sleeping. Mine also love the magnatural ledges.

The substrate looks too dry also. Get some branches in there, make it like a tree.

Here are some shots of my AGTF (1.1.0) set up. It's an Exo Terra 18x18x24 will drilled bottom. Just thought it might give you some ideas for add-ins.

Are those live plants? Would you say they are easy to care for indoors, like adding a fertilizer stick or something to the roots? Looks very nice but I wouldn't know where to get things like that for mine (the rocks and wood pieces).
All live except the maiden hair on the top left. And yes, very easy since they are all house plants anyway. And with the drilled bottom, well for planted tanks you just can't beat it. They are planted in a combination of ABG mixed with an organic potting soil. As for accent pieces likes rocks, I get those from lakes, rivers, streams and the cork bark from the reptile shows. There's one in Charlotte this weekend. Not sure where in NC you are located, but several times a year there are shows in Winston Salem, Raleigh & Charlotte.

I picked up a a golden pothos plant who's pot was about 3.5 inches in diameter. I put the whole thing in the back corner and my frog loves it! It is very leafy and provides large leaves to sit on, as well as extra places to hide. This guy has been hiding ever since, and now he's been either on the plant, or on the branches around it, right in the open. Live plants are the way to go.

Be sure to prepare all new plants
Remove the plant from the container and bang off all of the soil it came with.
Plants ( roots and all ) should be bleach dipped ( ie 5 gallon bucket of tap water and a capful of bleach)
Then rinse, rinse, rinse the plant ( and roots) in de-chlorinated water -----> re-pot or plant into enclosure.
It should be re-potted in tropical soil or use the same soil you used for substrate
such as:
ABG, Atlanta Botanical Gardens Mix | Reptile Substrate | Josh's Frogs
