Thats not my video. It's just a video of the same size tank that i have.
Also, I would like to make my tank a rain tank also but i dont know how to. Could i get some links to supplies that i would need to make it one?

All depends on what type of rain tank your making.... I have a LIVE VIVARIUM / RAIN CHAMBER COMBO (as shown in my profile). ALL YEAR ROUND TYPE. (VERY EXPENSIVE) $2,500.00. Rain chambers are really only worth setting up if you plan on breeding your frogs. If you plan on breeding them.. let me know..but i would advise against it until you get to learn your frog and how they function. Rain chambers are used by breeders as SECOND tanks normally. Are you going to have live plants? DO you have fake plants...whats type of substrate are you going to use? DO you have humidity and temperature monitors? THis frogs needs to be misted and stay between 70-85 percent humidity. Misting them twice a day. I can get you a live vivarium/rain chamber set up for about 350 dollars.

Sorry i misread the tank size. Your tank is not a good tank to use for the frog i over read the length and height. Your height should be about 24" it is a frog that loves to climb and needs height. It can be done..but you wont have a happy frog. He will most likely get NOSE RUB from climbing up and rubbing his nose on the screen.

Heres a website i made..... you can work off of this and learn everything you need to know!

RED EYE TREE FROG - RED EYE BASICS

Ok thats a good list you have there. One thing i would recommend with this list.

1.) you do not need the BASKING bulb. IT will dry out your terrarium and your froggy. (not good) If you need a heating source for any reason look into getting a heating pad. but before you do that. ***buy the humidity and temperature MONITOR dials. (to see if you even need a heating source.)

2.) You will probably need a glass/ Plexiglas cover to go on top of your screen to retain moisture in the terrarium. YOu can get that at home depot / lowes and cut the exact piece you need. (about 15 dollars for the glass and cutter) You will notice that you will maintain a 70-90 percent humidity level which is very important. You will notice that your screen for this terrarium is METAL and it begin to rust... to prevent this buys some plastic screening at home depot and replace the screening. ( i had to do it on my exo terra) not a hard task.

3.) I did not see a substrate on that list.... Look into getting TREE FERN or ECO EARTH COCONUT HUSK.

4.) Water dish? You will need that to. RETFs will actually sit in the water to absorb it so get a MEDIUM sized water dish.

5.) I see you have a fake vine plant on the list. THis frog loves to perch on large leaves. See if you can find a LARGE leafed terrarium plant fake or live. If you use live..you will need the tree fern substrate. (be careful of overwatering / flooding the plant roots) (ill show you how to set a live vivarium up if you want)


I think i nailed everything. Any more questions refer to my website posted or message the forum. we are here for ya. =)
