Help with tree frog pick? pics of viv!

Wow, you have allot of color, I'd go for a frog that is bright and sticks out. Maybe red eyes, or milkys, maybe a tiger leg.

Thanks lllreptile picked some nice plants to send me. It was my first time ordering plants and I ordered way to much. I actually had more plants and decided to make a second viv that I have another reptile in. I like the red eyes and tiger legs. Question can they be housed together?

Answer: No they can't.

Is better never to mix different species for several reasons including food competition, skin toxins, diferent requierments...


By the way, nice viv!

I bet Super tiger legs would do well in there. Milkys might be too big when they're full grown for some of those plants. Red eyes would be cool too. I guess it's just personal preference

Red eyes are much larger than tiger legs (P. hypochondrialis), the size difference could be very stressful for the tigers and there is also the problem of feeder size, the crickets for the red eyes will be too big for the tigers.

I've heard that tree frogs don't like fogger's, in case that makes a difference in your decision. I know Chester would be gaga to be in that viv though! Nice job.

Ok thanks guys Im not a fan of mixing species anyway but I figured I would ask. I'm leaning towards the red eye tree frogs but I still really like the tiger legs guys to. I guess it will come down to what they have at the expo the last expo I went to had tons of tree frogs so I should have a nice selection to choose from. About the fogger I think its just to look cool because most of the time I have to mist the viv manually because the fogger does not get the right size dew drops on the leave. Especially when dealing with animals who cant see standing water to drink out of a water dish like some frogs and chameleons. The leaves have to be very wet and sometimes the fogger does not do the job.

Plants:
ficus tree
Assorted Tillandsias
Bromeliads
The Earth's Star Plant - Cryptanthus bivittatus

In a twenty gallon you could probably keep three or four tiger legs. I have two P. tomopterna in an eleven gallon tall and they seem to be doing fine. They're the bigger and more brightly colored of the species. I would go for them or their cousins P. hypochondrialis as four of them will be more comfortable in a twenty gallon. Their great frogs, but can be a little weird at times. XD
