Important question.

After much thinking of what I would like to do with my new terrarium. I was thinking of making it into a diversity of american frogs. Because I kinda like the sounds they make. I shall post a video of the frogs I am talking of. Good thing my parents let me borrow their laptop....
I def. would like these:

YouTube - Chorus Frog Call[/URL]

YouTube - Green Treefrog Calling[/URL]

YouTube - Pine Barrens Treefrog[/URL]

I mean in the wild "most" of these are all together. So I was wondering If I could keep atleast a few of each species (1male of each species) I wanted to make the terrarium like

I want it heavily planted like that. BUT I want a bottom like this

I dont know if that is even possible. But I was thinking that the front part could be part water. I wanted the tank to be heavily moist. Would this work for a 18x18x18 exoterra? I think Iam going to upgrade sooon. My mom wants to use this one to put her plants in. So I was hoping to get either the large rainforest terrarium made by exo terra. You know? The one thats 18widex24long(i think)x24tall. Something like that. So I wanted to ask if this is something that can be achieved?

Play the vids all together so you know what itd sound like. I would love to get that sound in my room. I especially like the peepers, chorus, greens oh and i forgot to add this last one.

I'd wait to hear from John, Kurt, or one of the other more experienced/knowledgeable members on this one but, from what I have read and based on a catastrophic personal experience it's never a good idea to keep frogs of different species in the same enclosure. Maybe your situation is different because they are all from N America but I don't know. Anyway the sound is nice, I have 1 white's about 30 feet away 2 american green tree frogs, and they croak like crazy at night time, however I'm a light sleeper and I am often awaken by the noise and it always takes me a good 10 15 seconds to figure out whats going on!

You should not mix species, or even different morphs of the same species.

Hm but is it possible to atleast own a spring peeper or a chorus frog? For some reason I have a feeling its impossible. But i would like to find out. If I cant have either then id probably go with a green treefrog. I just like the constant sound. I also like the gray treefrog but the chorus and the peepers are my fav.

[Paul Rust]

Absolutely, as long as you keep the same species together you can keep whatever you want. Within your local laws of course.

I wouldn't even want one calling peeper in my bedroom. At a few feet away, they are loud enough to make my ears hurt. I'm happy hearing a swampfull of them call about 500 feet away out my window. Maybe one a few rooms away would be ok.

A gray treefrog calling in my bedroom works ok, I can sleep through it. They aren't at all active during the day though, unless it's feeding time. They'll do some exploring after the lights go out.

Keep researching, and be sure to find a species that you'll enjoy caring for for many years.

I was looking for a treefrog,frog, toad that would be somewhat active during when I have the lights on. I kinda keep the lights on at night and I cover the tank at day.

Does anyone know what kinds of frogs and toads of the north america can ussually be found on the hamburg reptile expo?

Glades carries quite a bit and they will be there.
