    Default Size of Vivarium

    I was wondering if there are any tree frog species that can live in an 12W x 12D x 18T (30cm x 30cm x 45cm) enclosure? Also, how common/available are crowned tree frogs in the hobby?

    They are, aren't they. I believe they are found in the same range as red-eyed tree frogs, so I was also wondering if anyone has kept them in the same enclosure?Name:  DSC_0559JPG.jpg

    Never seen a Crowned Tree Frog before - they are very interesting looking! As far as what species of frog you could keep in a 12 x 12 x 18.....I keep an Adult Male White's Tree Frog in a 12 x 12 x 24 to give you an idea?

    Question Re: Size of Vivarium

    For this size vivarium, what kind of system would folks recommend for humidity? The main ones I've seen on the market are the Repti Fogger, Habba Mist and Exo Terra Monsoon.

    Thanks, Lynn. I was wondering if you (or anyone else of course) could answer a few questions about heating for me - I was planning on using a UTH to bring up the temp in my 12x12x18. What size UTH should I use and where would be the best placement? I currently have the exo terra background that comes with the terrarium in there, would the heat pad still raise the temp even if I placed it behind the background? Have you ever used Zoo Med Repti Heat Cable inside your Red-Eyed Leaf Frog enclosure? (I've attached a description) Thanks!
