    You're a little ahead of me finishing my article so I'll give you a quick break down:

    - You could keep 2 or 3 in a small exoterra (1 ft x 1 ft x 1.5 ft tall).
    - They are not as demanding of moisture as many treefrogs so it's not the end of the world if you miss a daily misting now and then.
    - Plenty of branches (thicker = better) to hang out, and they like perches.
    - If they are relatively new captives (and perhaps even if they are not) they will benefit from blocking out at least one of the walls of the vivarium so that they don't feel vulnerable to predation.
    - Food: I give mine waxworms, super mealworms and crickets. I dust food occasionally with a calcium supplement and with a vitamin supplement. If you work with them, and be patient, they will start taking food from tweezers. Feed every 2-3 days as much as they'll eat in about 15 minutes.
    - No need to heat them - they tolerate a wide range of temperatures.
    - Light is not necessary but it will help keep lives plants going, and they seem to like live plants, such as pothos.
    - Once they are comfortable with their vivarium they will forage on the ground at times, so it's a good idea to have a nice substrate. Coconut fiber will do but I prefer a nice top soil instead (no artificial additives thank you).

    Any other questions, feel free to ask.

    I'm not a species mixer but many people do keep these two together. I wouldn't. If you decide to do it anyhow, if you have one kind already I would certainly quarantine the new ones for at least a month before putting them with the other.
