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.

I know grey tree frogs have very similar care to green tree frogs Hyla cinera
and the forum had a grey tree frog caresheet but i cant seem to find it :/

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:
Frog Forum - Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding
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.
