10 gallon terrarium for red eyed tree frog

[Anthoney Rigby]

i need help deciding how to set up my terrarium. i want a water feature of some kind. but im not sure what. also i am building the stuctures from great stuff foam. does it go well with water or should i get and different foam for the bottom. please post some ideas and some pics.

Just a couple of thoughts. I think that terrarium size is pushing the minimum limit for a red-eyed tree frog. Water feature wise, unless it's a pond, I advise you to avoid it. Getting a pump to work reliably in a terrarium like that is a challenge (but doable).

Great Stuff is polyurethane foam. Once it has cured it's inert in water, so very suitable. In fact, Tetra markets a black version of great stuff for use in ponds and water falls here in the US. It's the exact same thing with a different color.

thanks so much john. i only thought of a 10 gallon because of stands. but size has no limit because i set a frog budget of 4,000 Canadian dollars. also would red eyed tree frogs, white tree frogs, and green tree frogs live together well.

No, only one species per tank. Their toxins will slowly poison each other. Not to mention size difference and aggressiveness of the breeds.

I would also go bigger than a 10 gallon. You want to get lots of plants in there and still have space for the frog to move around.

Thanks but will any off the tree frogs live with a dart frog

You should not mix any frogs with a different species.

Mommyof4 and Amy are right, only one frogs species per tank is the general rule. Darts and Tree Frogs won't co-habitate unless you have a very big enclosure and very small tree frogs (or so I assume).

The humidity requirements for darts are way too high for tree frogs to tolerate as a normal routine. Tree frogs require a lot of ventilation and that much ventilation would kill the darts.

Another point I didn't even think of. Strike my last comment, Cheri's absolutely right. XD;
