New here... First time Tree Frog owner

Tarantulas are pretty awesome actually once you get to know them i got one for myself too, once i got over the fact my youngest got hers lol

anyhow for your frog, yes it is an american green frog, you need to cover 3 sides of your enclosure to minimize stress levels and add more plants, it is after all a tree frog, it needs a tree with leaves or anything as close as possible. Your substrate looks very dry, it should be wet but not mud like.

Ok, so more plants. The ground is very wet now I figured out that I was supposed to wet up the coconut fiber oops so got that covered but I'll need more plants to cover. Thank you! I hope Angel will be ok until tomorrow.. It's too late to go shopping and get the stuff.

He sure will be ok and get. A background to cover 3 sides of a tank, fish background works nice or your daughter can draw herself, will be special kinda forest then angel wont care what is that as long as it is not see though like a glass.

I use a towel folded over and placed across teh top of the tank to maintain humidity. It works REALLY WELL. Actually, it worked too well when I first started keeping frogs, lol. I had to adjust the amount of coverage to about 2/3 of the top of the exo-terra and now it is perfect! It keeps in the heat and moisture, but it also allows for the excess moisture to evaporate. Since I have no need for a heat lamp, the towel is safe to use with out fear of it catching fire. Good luck with your new baby! She is a cutie! Best Wishes; MsBlueRose

Hello and welcome to FF! Agree with others it's a Green Tree Frog, Hyla cinerea. Tree frogs in general prefer taller than longer tanks with good ventilation. They do not require very high humidity levels because of their off ground lifestyle. You can read about them in link attached to name. Also, here is some care information: http://www.frogforum.net/care-sheet-...a-cinerea.html.

In general terms, you can gut loaded crickets with carrots, lettuce, and cherio cereal. Feed insects sized same as distance between frog eyes to avoid impaction. Need to use supplements, more info on that in here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...schedules.html.

Bath water should be dechlorinated tap cleaned daily. You can use distilled water for misting; but avoid spraying frog. The substrate should be mixed with treated tap until slightly damp and clumps in fist; but does not drip water out. Regular misting will prevent it from drying. Try not to make it wet; it will breed bacteria and turn into a bog.

If going with artificial plants; hanging silk ones (come with suction cups to attach to glass) will work fine. Already got info on covering 3 sides, that is important to reduce stress. Hope this helps and good luck !

Angel seems to be doing much better. Turning more light green now. I haven't gotten to branch thing yet but I covered 3 sides and add foil to the top. It's warmer in there and Angel seems happier. I hope so! Thank you all for helping me.
