New To Whites Tree Frogs

[Sasha]

I'll weigh in on this. You are going to need a way to heat your tank, whites need to be kept at about 75-80 degrees during the day and maybe around 70 at night. I don't have a water element in my tank so I have a heat lamp. It's just a dome light fixture with red heat bulb. My tank is tall and I have the decor set up so that the heat lamp is not directly over something that the frogs will sit on and burn their little butts. I also use a repti-fogger. Both the heat light and the fogger are set up with a hygro/therm, they are a little expensive but well worth the money!

I agree with Bill too, you will want to buy the largest and tallest tank that your budget can afford. Tree frogs LOVE to climb and be up high and you will want to get more than just one!

Im glad you came in with that info. So when I go to my local herp store on saturday I will pick up a red heat bulb (Im starting with buying things and then getting the frog, did the opposite with a turtle recently.... not fun.) and I already have a dome lamp. Im so excited!!

Be very careful not to let the frog come into contact with the heat bulb. You don't want your froggie to get burned. I have mine resting on top of the tank because there is nothing the frog can sit on directly under it.

Oh and another very important thing...make sure you know the size and wattage limit of your dome light so that you can buy a bulb that will fit it properly. I've recently run into that problem for another tank I have, I bought the bulb and it was too long for the dome!
