    Hello and welcome to FF! Recommend read this to ensure vivarium you plan to build meets the RETF requirements: Frog Forum - Red-Eyed Leaf Frog/Red Eyed Tree Frog Care - Agalychnis callidryas.

    Heating needs will depend on room temperature. If needed, you would need to build a screen top and use heating bulbs since heat pads are a no go with an acrylic enclosure.

    For plants you need a compact fluorescent or LED fixture that peaks around 5,600K color. RETFs are nocturnal and need darkness to become active at night.

    I'm happy using drilled ExoTerra's enclosures so do not build my own.

    You can mist the enclosure couple times a day or install an auto-regulated mister or humidifier to control humidity. Water features can be built into design or you can use a water dish for the frogs. There are many build threads in the forum's vivarium section. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
