    Default Grey Tree frog?

    My neighbors have a grey tree frog they can not care for, it is wild caught and only an inch long. I have read several care guides but whats the minimum tank size even temporarily? I will buy supplies as I go.

    A 10 gallon would be fine when it's young, but taller than the standard fish tank is more ideal. One of those 18x18x24 exo-terras would be good for an adult or two, a larger tank wouldn't be wrong though. Getting usable perches near the top of the tank is also important. Care sheet:

    Glad I'm not the only one. I think it was bumped off the 'Care Article' page and I can't see how to get to page 2 or if there is a page 2...I find it by googling 'grey treefrog caresheet' and it's usually near the top. Sad I know, but it works.

    That doesn't say the minimum for a lone frog. I have a spare 10 ... Or will soon. I was hoping a 12x12x18 would be good because its the only terrarium I can currently afford.

    Please take a look at this article and see if you can modify your ten gallon vertically: Frog Forum - Building Dart Frog Terrariums / Tropical Terrarium Construction . If doing this, remember to increase ventilation. The only solid area needed for tree frogs is the bottom front to prevent substrate from falling out. Then keep saving your $ until can afford an ExoTerra 18x18x24 in. Sometimes can get good deals around the end of November or maybe in local Craiglist. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    I had two in a mini-tall exo-terra and they both seemed comfortable and happy. Green and Gray Tree Frogs are relatively small, so one would definitely be ok in the 12x12x18 mini-tall.
