    Nice updates. Love the use of branches :-) Frogs should be happier moving around in there.
    Is there a water dish that the frogs can soak in? They love to get right in chin deep and soak, sometimes for hours.

    I would like to recommend that you remove the bulb from inside the enclosure since it is one place you don't want a tree frog to leap to by accident.
    Just moving it above the tank should be fine.

    If your using all live plants and your room averages a temperature of 70 to 80 during the day, then pick up a hood that would allow the use of a 6500K color temp bulb. You want at least a 6500 color temp bulb for the plants.
    I use some compact florescent bulbs which would screw into the fixture your already using but you want the lighting to be over more of the plants.
