Welcome aboard. Personally I would put clown treefrogs, Dendropsophus leucophyllatus in that enclosure. See pic below. They stay small so they would work out well. Red-eyed leaf frogs, Agalychnis callidryas would be ok temporarily, but they get too big to be permanent residents in your enclosure. I keep both species myself.

Welcome to the Forum!
Dendrosophus leucophyllota are an excellent choice. Any small arboreal species will work well in that sort of setup because they'll utilize the height. Also, with smaller species they allow you to more artisitically plant and decorate without worrying about all your hard work getting destroyed.

do these take much care .temps humdity substrat feeding

[phil7870]

do i just house one or more how big are they .are they active .

They are a tropical species (Costa Rica) so around room temperature would work. They require moderate humidity, but the Exoterra is perfect for maintaining that humidity. Substrate is any soil that grows plants well, make sure you have drainage in it. The like plants, think tall and large leaved. Crickets make feeding easy. You could probably get away with a pair in that tank and I think they're pretty active, at least around dusk. If you get them go for older individuals, its too difficult to start off with babies because of how fragile they are and the size of food they require. Hope that helped, we'd all be happy to add more on their care if you like.

But White's are to big for his enclosure, that's why tiger-legged monkey frog and clown treefrogs were suggested.
