White or Wrong

[Surrealasm]

Well the original idea for an arboreal amphibian was my idea, so yeah its definitely something I want.

I recently bought her a flying squirrel so shes looking to return the favor.

I'm building in a 30 gallon tall shaped aquarium.

Ive seen some amazon milk frogs at my favorite boutique, and the employees said its care was similar to White's. Is this true? Are there any other neat non-whites with similar care requirements?

I don't know much about milk frogs. Someone else will have to answer that one for you. Another type of frog that I think is great is the Orange-Legged Monkey Tree Frogs (Phyllomedusa Hypochondrialis). They are smaller than White's, but they like the arboreal setup and have striking color on their legs.

The care of any of these frogs is all about having a viv that is maintained with the right humidity, temps, and routine maintenance. So, as long as your building the viv to suit a tree frog, then you should be fine with most any tree frog.

The biggest difference in these frogs is that Whites are the thrashers of a viv over most other tree frogs. I love Whites since they are so active, but your plants are not going to like them :-) Bromelaids, Snake Plant and Pothos are pretty much the only plants that hold up to a WTFs antics.

Thanks Don, extremely useful knowledge right there.

Appreciate the info from both of ya'll, I'll start doing more investigation and research.

Also take into consideration how you plan on interacting with the frog. Is the frog for looking at only or do you plan to handle it.

If I may add my opinion:
If the plan is to handle it, plan another pet

And what's wrong with handling frogs? Mine will climb up onto my hand and push their belly against the skin for warmth. And the toads, when not underground, come out of their tank each night for a good hop around the living room. I'm not talking 'bout naming him George and hug him and pet him and squeeze him (Classic Looney Tunes). From what I've read on other types of frog they are for display only. That's all I'm talking about.
