viper jr thanks! I was unclear on my tank size its actually 10x15x10. I raised the temp and humidity and got woken up in them middle of the night to here one of them croaking! There moving around as I type Thanks! BTW, I would never get an animal then not research how to keep it, i was just unclear.

I'm not sure which dimension is what, but if it's just 10" high (I'm assuming this since the height is generally at the end), I suggest you get a taller (and bigger overall) terrarium ASAP.

I typed the thing about research, since it didn't seem very informed to have red eyes in very small 60 F, 50% humidity tank.

Well, that's my point. Do the search, then get the animal, not the other way around.

Anyway, the moving and croaking sounds good! They generally climb around and stay very active the first few days, like they are exploring the tank. After that first phase, they often (but not always) stay very hidden for some time (anywhere from a few days to a month), before they start their "normal" behavior.


(Please note: I bolded "then" in the quote to highlight my point. It was not there in the original post. Just so no-one thinks I'm editing quotations in an unfair manner.)
