Finally dug through my Laptop and found some photos of a few of my originals Set-Ups from Late 2013 and Early 2014, I was constantly changing and upgrading the layout/setup.

I'd done some initial research. Temperature, moisture/humidity, food, lighting, heat source, how many can co-exist together (if there was indeed a limit), and various other information.

Set Up 1:






I provided eco-earth substrate, half log hide, two separate water bowls. And has all four living together.

Set Up 2:






I decided to do away with substrate, being they constantly mistake any soul disturbed or accidentally moved for food. I though wood would be a nice addition to their setup. And the reptile safe vine looked nice in a chameleon setup I figured my tree frogs should love this, and included various branches.

Set Up 3:


I decided to do away with wood, with the humidity the wood eventually started to blacken and what I assume would be is rot/mold. I quickly tore apart the previous set up, removing all wood and branches. I ended up removing the vining as well it did not do its job well in supporting the chunky monkeys, and no matter how soon I picked out all poop nuggets, it started to develop a smell even after a soaking in hot water. So, with the great idea to provide an arboreal aspect to the frogs cage, I was back to the chalk board.

I went with a basic setup of hides, soaking bowls. And started doing research again. Hoping to unearth some new information.

Everything available from care sheets to online full set up blogs were of no help. There were so many faults with each advised setup. One highly advised sphagnum moss to help keep moisture up, yet moss has the same issue for which I went against eco-earth, not to mention the possibility of exposing my lovely whites to a fungus outbreak, no thank you.

So, I finally decided they at least needed fake plants for security even if the leaves couldn't support their weight, being some mighty heavy tree frogs.

Set Up 4:


I added fake plants that attached to the glass, hoping it would support them and allow them to sleep in their corners and under plants. Added large rounded smooth rocks, I like to call riverbed rocks. Some are large and rounded while others are flat, but rounded.

Their current set up is still pretty much the same minus the ceramic hide I provided originally because the ceramic was found to have a chip that left a sharp edge they could accidentally brush against while crawling around. Though they currently have 3 sides of the tank covered, and my current location does not have the lovely breeze and wind chill living on the beach coast had, and so they have no supplemental heat provided, except via a red heat lamp on cold nights, or if the next morning is expected to be chilly via an overhead heat lamp.

Their newest set up, a semi-aquatic setup is still in the works, once finish, I'll update pictures on my colony thread.


Lol, some various side notes. I used post it notes on the cages to keep up with their last feeding and days of quarantine left. (Should I decide to buy more WTF's to QT and add to their setup.) they stayed in the 10gal tank setup until they cleared quarantine. One White passed before I was able to schedule an appointment to bring them all in and get a check for s good and clear bill of health. I started quarantine back up and brought in the three I had left. They were cleared of any intestinal parasites, and no worms were found in their feces. One has since passed due to unfortunate circumstance of leaving them in the care of my in-laws, while I was away on vacation. I returned home to find one dead and the rest highly dehydrated. I immediately remedied what I could and kept a watchful eye on the last two. They are fine and were quarantined and again checked by a vet just to be safe after left in the tank with the dead frog that wasn't removed until my return. After they finished their 90-Days they were again placed back together. And months later I have since squired two more whites. They're both currently in QT with basic setups.
