How Bad Do White's Tree Frogs Smell?

[Cylifornia]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad does aavivarium with fake plants and isopods with 1 frog smell?
1 being freshly opened fish food-10 being an aquatic turtle tank with a heat lamp but no filter that hasn't been cleaned in 3 days. both are unpleasant things but I don't expect a frog to smell like daisies.

I think I'm biased here but... 1 or 0
Literally can't smell any odor coming from my tree frog tanks...except maybe an earthy/dirt smell (although that's mainly from the burrowing ones.)
Just have to keep it clean!

Could be due the fact that there isnt enough ventilation in the tank?

my tanks smell fine. a bit of a musty forest smell, but that's because i have like a gazillion pounds of moss growing in them....LOL

I'd have to say a one. I have three whites in one tank and we can sometimes get a faint dirt/forest smell but it's nice, kinda like fresh morning dew on trees

My tank smells earthy.

my mmom and dad both say that they think my frog is gonna smell (it's one of the reasons they want me to wait till we get a bigger house. bigger house, more places to put the frog where humans wont be) so I told them I'd look it up.now I can say 'neener neener neener' thanks guys!

You can tell mom and dad that my 2 dogs and cat smell way worse than my 10 frogs combined.....lol

I agree with Bill! I have one cat that can clear a house when she goes to the bathroom! If you clean the tank daily you won't have a problem.

I clean my wtf tank about 1 time a month and there's no smell. But if you have a water bowl you will need to clean it every 1 -2 days.

Yeah, we have 2 dogs. that turtle tank I had... i wish that stink on nobody. all the bacteria of his secretions and whatnot under a heatlamp.... no no. fortunately he has a better, well equiped home.

If I lift the lids on my PDF tanks I get that earthy, dirty smell rushing up into my nose. That smell comes from having an enclosed area with limited ventilation and an environment with soil, plants, and decaying matter. As long as the tank is a balanced environment I don't think it should matter.IMHO

BTW...do Whites Tree Frog do better alone or with another individual?

I think they work well either way
