    so this is the new setup I just finished for my eastern grey treefrogs that were found in my livingroom, yes my living room....they had come in one evening when we had the door open.

    They have many different little hiding places and natural mosses, along with bark and a tree mushroom to perch on (ended up painting the mushroom cause after I baked it it turned brown lol.)

    Also included is a great stuff foam waterfall and rock pond that is home to one rusty crayfish and baby panfish (panfish is a temporary guest until the pond is done as he will outgrow the tank quickly)

    lemmie know what you guys think!

    also the last picture is of the female when she was on the wall lol

    Nice looking tank, but........greys like to be up high, and they are not aquatic frogs, so even though this tank looks great I don't think it's the best set up for a tree frog. But then this is just my opinion.

    I have to agree that it's not an ideal tree frog setup, but amazing none-the-less. I think it would probably make a better FireBelly Toad set up, once the panfish goes to his permanent home.

    thanks for the heads up!! I just assumed they like water because every one that we have seen in the yard this spring as been near the ground by a water supply lol. :P I have a spare 10 gallon that I can turn on it's side and convert to a tall with acrylic doors and acrylic front wall to keep substrate in similar to the exoterra enclosures...would that be better for them?

    That would be much better. You probably find them near water mostly because of spawning and they need puddles of water to lay their eggs, of course.

    For reference, here's my tank w/3 adult Cope's housed within. Note water dish in bottom left corner for them to soak in.

    Here is my Grey Tree Frog's enclosure. It has a waterfall and a water bowl for them to soak in.
