    Default What next?

    After having kept my White's treefrogs for less than a week, I've decided that I'm hopelessly addicted to keeping treefrogs! And I'm wondering what species I should get next. I'm looking for something really cool that can live in a 10-gallon vertical setup, like maybe A. callidryas or Phyllomedusa tomopterna. But I'm not sure if a pair of either of those frogs would be happy in a 10-gallon setup. Can anyone provide me with ideas?

    I find myself quite enamoured with smaller species, primarily because we only have small ones, aside from the Bufo Marinus[though not a tree frog], so I would suggest something like Litoria Ewingii - The Whistling Tree Frog/Brown Tree Frog.

    Those can definitely be kept in a 10gallon, not sure how many, but since they are roughly the size of mine [Eleutherodactylus Johnstonei], I'd say probably 4 or 5. Depending on aggression issues and what not.

    I would suggest my frog species, but they're not commonly kept as pets, so no one sells or breeds them, atleast to my knowledge. And though technically Tree Frogs and quite skilled climbers, they are low climbers, so they won't need so much vertical space. They like having more ground space, but adequate climbing space, so actually a 10gallon long is better, just with lots of short branches or things to climb on.

    Also, why not H. Versicolour? It seems like they are a great Tree Frog to keep as well, and the Caresheet says they tame fairly well too. If I could, I'd get one myself, along with a Tomato Frog[which looks to be in the near future] too .
