    Default Tank size?

    If this will be their permanent home, I would go with a 24x18x24 minimum. 24x18x36 or one of the larger ones would be even better. I kept a sub adult pair in an 18x18x24 and that was a bit too cozy for my tastes with them.

    Default Tank size?

    Okay thanks. I know there is a lot of conflict on tank sizes for whites, so I figured I would get everyone's opinions.

    There is a lot of conflict concerning everything when it comes to white's. Temps, humidity, tank size, ect. It's insanity. I always looked at it from this point of view when considering a tank size for my white's:
    A majority of white's sold on our continent, are wild caught. Which means those frogs went from having millions of hectares of land to stake out a territory, to a tiny glass jail cell. Why complicate matters by going with just the bare minimum? That's why when I chose to build a 125 gallon tank for them, I only went with 6. In retrospect, 4 would have been a better number. That would have given them more room to spread out an explore.

    A commercial refrigerator, like they have in supermarkets, with the glass doors would be my dream Viv. Already sealed, perfectly insulated for hot or cold.

    "One-upmanship" is when someone always tries to do something better than someone else/is very competitive. I just added the frog part, heh
