yes it does have a top but I removed it to give a clearer picture, I'm thinking the spotted marsh frog that we have will get a new home and then these guys can have it's tank as the marsh frogs tank is quite high because it was originally going to house a green tree frog, and yes my daughter is still wanting the green tree frog that was all we were going to have but in a space of 3 weeks we seem to have a whole lot more ( just as well I've always wanted to get a pet frog )
