Interested in red-eyed leaf frog

[skully23]

In about a month I want to get two red-eyed leaf frogs but I need some help. I have been doing research and I read the articles given on the site but I want some personal help.
So I will start off with what I have:
I have a ten gallon tank with a screen lid and pothos plant. I have bowls for water. I also have crickets. I buy them every week or so for my other reptiles. I have some vines and a set of hanging vines from the pet store. I am capable of getting paper towel for bedding. I also have a hand mister for moisture.

So I have a few questions and I would like for you to freely tell me if I am wrong with information but be nice.

1) Is a ten gallon good for two frogs?
2) What other plants/stuff can I use?
3) Is a potho okay for a frog?
4) How can I tell sex of each frog?
5) Can you give me ideas on making the home better?
6) Is a lamp needed? (I have a heat lamp)
7) Will the frogs breed without a breeding chamber?
8) Can I hold them?
9) What do I need to do to raise the eggs?

Thanks for taking your time to help me! I am still researching everyday and can't wait.

Pothos is actually one of the more common plants used. Other then that I do not know much about this species.

1) It would probably be ok but a bit more vertical space might be better. A twenty gallon vert would be good.
2) pretty much anything that looks tropical, isn't prickly, and can handle high humidity.
3) Yes
4) Adult males are a bit smaller and less plump looking than females.
5)....
6) No, not generally speaking, but it all depends on the temps in your house.
7) Maybe, but probably not.
8) You could, but most frogs are more of a look but don't touch pet. If you want a more handleable amphibian try something like a cane or rococo toad. They deal with handling quite well after they get used to you.
9) All that info is easily available on line but perhaps it's best to cross that bridge when you come to it.

I leave the eggs in the rain chamber to hatch, removing the parents back to their ten-gallon. The eggs hatch out in a few days. I find the tadpoles stagger out when they morph, meaning they don't all morph at once. It can take a few months for all of them to morph.

A cane toad would be something I am interested in. However I do not know where to get one...maybe link me a site for a tadpole?? So I can raise it
The only reason I became interested in this tree frog is because I was at a swap meet a few days ago and seen that this area sold some...well I didn't have any knowledge and I absoulty loved how they look. So I decided the next swap meet..which is in a month..I could research and go buy one. But I am thinking a cane toad tadpole would be cheap to order and raise...If its possible to link me to a really good cheap site I will make a new thread on them.
I have actually raised a tadpole to a frog and I still have the little enviroment that I could use until its too big to be in it

Throw some links at me!

I am always making up my mind. Please visit my newest thread to see what frog/toad you can fit me.

There are only a few species that are easily purchasable as tadpoles and no toads are among them. Unless you live in south florida and can collect them yourself the chances of getting cane toad tadpoles is very small. Adults or sub-adults are frequently available and are not very expensive though. Shipping is the biggest expense and is why your usually better off buying frogs locally unless your buying expensive frogs or large quantities.
