    So I did notice that my Whites get a little lathergic when ever there is a big change in barametric pressure. They usually snap back a day or 2 later and go back to their usual destructive ways!

    I may have asked you or you may have answered in a previous post but what kind of enclosure do you have? Have you tried putting a towel or some plexiglass on top of the enclosure. I had to put a 4" piece of Plexiglass on top of mine to limit the humidity exiting out the top. It might make it easier to maintain the humidity.

    I have him in a 30 gallon glass fish tank. Its covered with a fitted plastic bin, which I cut enough to have his UVB bulb shine through. I was thinking about investing in a 18x18x18 or 18x18x24 Exo Terra Cage, what do you think??

    I have the ZooMed 18x18x24 and I love it! It is so much easier to clean then the open top. Plus I have noticed my kids don't mind when I open it up and start doing things. I have not owned one of the Exo Terras, but since the 18x18x24 is the biggest size that ZooMed makes I am looking to pick up the Exo Terra 24x18x36. I am not sure how active Het is but I know that my kids use all 24" of height that is in my tank. They love to climb! There is a pic of my enclosure in my Whites album if you care to look at it.

    I'm so sorry Hetfield isn't eating again Blue. I hope he's back to his old self again real soon. Grif stopped eating too, but is really active. I believe she is looking to breed and has been stimulated by Loki calling so I'm going to have my hands full for a while "Sigh".

    I love, love, love your set up. Hetfield is all over the place usually too. I will prolly invest in that then. I think the biggest size will be too big for one frog though. 18x18x18 or 18x18x24 exo which size should I get??

    I am sure that the 18" would be fine but personally I would do the 24". I am a sole believer in height for tree frogs, the higher they get the more secure they feel! Of course this is just my opinion.
