    Default Plant Species?

    Hi Everyone

    I am planning to set up a terrarium to house a couple of Australian red eyed tree frogs. The Terrarium is an Exo Terra Mini Tall 30*30*45

    I hope to plant it with a small variety of plants. Can anyone suggest any species? They have to be Australian.

    Thanks in advance

    PS: If I plant the terrarium, is it a must that I invest in an automatic mister?

    Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with endemic or native australian plant species. I am however familiar with australian plants that overlap their geographic distribution with south-east asia and new guinea.

    Saw this links and hopefully you could check them out. See what you like then we can help each other out by identifying whether it is toxic/safe or not

    Hello and welcome to FF! Can use plants you like from same area where frogs live in the wild. Using Neil's provided links to guide can help ID them. If you have any questions about a particular species; then ask in here .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Just be sure to check local laws and regulations before field collecting species of plants. Like frogs, many are protected. Also, be sure you can identify any plant you are collecting 100%, to ensure no issues with collecting protected species. A lot of plants look alike and have very subtle differences that could be the difference between a beautiful enclosure and jail time
