Looking great so far...just take your time. I let my foam dry at least 3 days, especially if its chilly.

Might want to sand down those wood areas that stick out. Red eyes will leap across the whole tank with one hop... Yikes! Just to be safe.

FYI, I too use paper towel bottom. You can do a false bottom but you have to keep it very clean. They tend to get sicker and easier than many species. The goal with them is prevention .
Red eyes and most tree frogs don't like substrate on their feet. It makes it hard for them to cling onto things and climb. Large leaf litter might help.

A glass feeding bowl is very helpful too .

You're going to love them . They're so cute and silly .

Thanks Heather!

The wood will get sanded for sure. A few of them are a tad to pointy. I have cuts on my hands to prove it

The substrate will be covered by Sphagnum moss and that covered by leaf litter. I am also going to order some springtails to put in the ABG mix to help keep everything cleaner, but will continue to check daily for poop and clean it out.

We did a glass bowl for the last couple of days and it has been hit or miss. They don't seem to enjoy it as much as hunting so we might switch back to that. They very rarely if ever leave anything alive and on the off chance they miss one I have been collecting it and putting it back in the colony so it can tell stories of the 2 green giants that ate all his friends lol.

We already do love them. My Wife is the frog over, We got them for her and I have fallen in love with them as well.
