Need Leopard frog Enclosure Ideas!

[Charlotte Benedict]

The tank needs to be half water half land, contrary to popular belief because leopard frogs are not fully aquatic and require good land area. this is a website on leopard frog care, and if you scroll down you can see pictures of enclosures.

ok thanks for the link i'll put it to good use. Anybody else have websites or pictures of their leopard frog enclosures. I could use all the ideas because I have nothing except for the basic Idea of the half land and half water tank thanks to Charlotte.

You will need a larger tank if you are putting a leapord frog in it. A 10 gal will be fine for a froglet but he will not be happy as an adult in such a small home. He needs room to jump freely and swim, too; I recommend at least a 20 gal long tank but the larger the better. I have 55 gal set up for two leopard frog, right now they are still tadpoels and can't even leave the water, but once they do they will be free to go and do what ever. I also have an underground cave buried in the soil with a tunnel opening near the back of the tank (since the soil is deep, about 7 inches deep, due to the pond at the adjacent end of the tank) so they can completely hide from view if they want to. Since you are looking for recommendations this is my suggestion; set up a bigger tank and section it off for a pond at one end. Line the bottom of the pond area with gravel or sand and plant so water plants in it (the plants will help clean the water, too) and make the gravel level deeper in some spots to have varying water depths. Make the shallow end near the land so he can sit on the bank like he would in the wild. On the dry side add some house plants, real or fake does not make a difference (though real is my preference), Add some curved logs for him to walk up and hide behind or a hallow log for him to hide in. Think of what you would see in nature; set up his environment like something you would find in a wooded area near a stream or pond and you will have a happy leopard frog for life so long as his tank is not too small. Good Luck! : )
