New White's Tree Frog Setup Question

[GreenTree]

I was just looking at the local weather where the whites tree frogs roam wild in australia and it is dropping to 68 degrees at night and mid to low 70s during the day... SO your temp for this time of year in their wild climate is perfect.

The thermastat in the middle should be sufficent. So what I would do to make sure you get the evening and day times temps fluctuating for their local wild environment is leave the small heat pad on...and turn the light off. Monitor for a week and post your results here for day and nighttime and its always good to monitor the local temperatures of north western australia to make sure your getting the proper temps of the time of month.

awesome! thank you guys/gals for all your help! I just wanted to make sure they were going to be healthy and happy! If all goes well with these guys, I am considering using the smaller terrarium for a smaller frog. What do you guys recommend that would be good in a 12x12x18 terrarium?

I only used to use those when I got babies.... so they could find their food sources properly.
I was never ashamed to buy bigger for any of my frogs...

So regardless of species, its only suitable for baby frogs?

Maybe a spring peeper? if you like loud frogs. haha
Im not to savy on dart frogs but they arnt good frogs to handle. Thats about the extent of what I know in the dedrobati world...maybe chipmunk will chime in. =)

My suggestion would be to clean that tank thouroughly and keep that tank on hand for a quarantine tank for when your little guy gets sick or injured. (its pretty common for whites to come down with a surprise illness which is treatable)

Im sure there is someone savy here on how to make a proper quarantine tank when the time comes.
