... We're going to need a bigger tank.

Hi guys! & Greetings from Leonidas!

So, I have recently decided to increase my froggy family by 1,
I am now on the search for one more Whites Tree Frog to keep Leo
company. Call me an easy addict- but I want another frog
to love. I wanted to know, how large should my new
tank be, if it's inhabitants are two White's Tree Frogs?
Also, I was wondering if there were any special methods I
could use to introduce the new frog to Leonidas, or if there
were any worries about bringing a new one into the family.
Any procedures I should go through besides taking the new
frog for a check-up at the vet? Leo is clear of any diseases
or parasites, I don't want him getting sick. So- any advice
you guys could give me would be great. I can't wait to meet
my new Whites Tree Frog- the anticipation is driving me insane.

By the way! I have attached a new photo of Leo as of yet,
he's a wopping 2.67 inches long, right now. My guess is that
he may still be a jeuvenile. I love him so much and I am
so happy that I chose the amphibian path to happiness!

So, yes- any advice would be well appreciated!

1. make sure their same size
2. a 30 tall tank will do great for two
3. when reintroducing rearange everything like vines etc
4. get a bigger water dish

How exciting for you. I'm so jealous. I think its a good idea to keep the new frog in a separate tank for a week or two just to be sure that you new frog is OK.

I will add quarantine the new frog for no less than thirty days, sixty would be better though. Not all illnesses are readily apparent.

Nobody understands better than I do as to how adicting frogs can be, I have 46 frogs (I got a third blue-webbed flying frog Tuesday night at Zoo Creatures). Of those 46 frogs, 13 are the offspring of my red-eyes. Also love salamanders too, only have 12 of them.

Is two the most White's I should keep in a medium size exo-terra habitat, or would another be ok?

I keep my two in a 18x12x20.
