WTF's set up, show me yours.

[kueluck]

I'm thinking about getting a WTF soon. I have the Exo Terra 18 x 18 x 24. I'm looking for the ultimate set-up for these guys. I have toads, fowlers & southern in a planted tank that's been up and running for almost 2 years, and going strong. I just don't know if WTF's do better in one of these or one with removable bottoms like moss or reptile carpet. Also on the care sheets it does not show the best humidity range for them. Input please. Thanks.

WTFs like moderate humidity. I keep mine around 60-70%. I highly recommend making a false bottom for your set up. This allows excess water to drain through to the bottom to be siphoned out. A water feature is a great way to maintain humidity. WTFs are great frogs. Tons of fun.

Do you have some pics to post so I can see how you have yours set up? I've had Copes (Hyla chrysoscelis) in the past, but the ones I had did not do well in captivity. They stayed at the top all bunched together trying to get out so they were released back outside. I had raised them from tads from the rain troughs in the yard so they were released back into their original habitat. I've only had native species of critters so this is all new to me. I just want to make sure I have the right set up for them before I bring one home.

WOW!! Well that's a bit more than I plan to do, plus I have a 18x18x24 so space is a bit limited, but thanks for the input.

hahaha, i knew that was you size, but i figured i post mine up so you can see the larger extreme....LOL

That looks great! Are there live plants in there (can't tell). If not, I would suggest some sort of taller plant on the bottom for the frog to hide in and feel more secure. But I love the branches! What are they and where did you get them?

[kueluck]

Manzanita Branches from Blooms and Branches 10" to 7 ft manzanita branches. I also have a large piece of cork bark in the back behind the the pothos on the right side, and I'll be adding more cork bark as I find pieces that will work, will also add one of the shelf fungus on the side wall.

HI all,

This is my simple wtf setup. But frogless yet.

I like this game... I'll play!

My vivarium is an 18x18x24 and from the bottom I have river rocks, four layers of screen, potting soil, then cocofibre. I have a tube in the very bottom leading up and out the back for drainage.

I like the heavy planting. I'm going to add more plants this weekend to give the frog more cover.

Isn't that a lot of deep water for a WTF? What about hiding spots, and places to hang out on?

I intend to put some big rocks and maybe raise part of the sand to make it higher. Hiding spots below the ledge , picture too dark . Maybe you can't see it.

Oh nevermind about the plants. I turned the phone around and got a better look at the picture. I can see the plants now LOL
