12x12x18 Exo Terra w/Red-Eyed Leaf Frog?

I keep two Red Eyes in a 18x18x18 Exo. They are not as active as my Whites and usually find many places to hang out and chill.

I would say one would be fine but they are usually happier if they have a friend.

If you have enough plants, vines and climbing/hiding areas you might get away with two.

A 12x12x18 is fine for froglets and juveniles, or as a quarantine tank but I would not go any smaller than 18x18x24 as a long-term home. I don't have any experience with peacocks or other big-eyed tree frogs to compare, but I wouldn't consider red eyes to be particularly difficult once they are established.

How often are they allowed to be handled? With my ornate tree frog I only handled him once every other day max. Can RETFs be handled more or less?...

I don't handle mine unless I need to move or examine them.

I don't handle mine either. Also remember that they are active at night and pretty much sleep all day.

K, im fine with no handling Thank you for the help

I'm receiving two Phyllomedusa Tomopterna (Super-Tiger Legged Monkey Frogs) from a breeder tomorrow and have an Exo Terra 12x12x18 (11 gallons) set up at their permanent home. I felt bad about the decision to get two at first as the home looked smaller once I actually purchased it, but I got the OK from the breeder for this size tank and if he says go for it then I trust him, he did raise the frogs after all. They get up to about 2 inches, or 2.5 for females, but have thin bodies and are not heavy.

I'd say go with what you're comfortable with without cramping your frogs TOO much. I gave the P. Tomopterna plenty of places to hide and climb and modified their background to make sure they'd have a place to perch and look around if they so desired. If I get them in there and they seem cramped, it will be a failure for me as I don't have another option at the moment, but for now I feel OK about it.

Just remember, frogs have survived under much worse conditions than these.
