    Even the largest ExoTerra (size Bill quoted) will be tight for 6 of them at 98 gallons . For six, think a custom made enclosure with at least an additional foot in length (L48xW18xH36 in.) will provide roughly 130 gallon. That volume meets the recommended 20G per frog .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    IMO a 36"x18x36". Is plenty of room for six. Sure bigger is always better but Imo they will live comfortably in a large exo terra.

    Yea I was looking at getting a 36x18x24

    I have 3 currently, and someone is selling 3 on c raigslist but the tank they are in now is to small so either way I need to buy a new tank.

    The 36H will probably work. Unless , of course, you have the funds to have a custom wall unit build $$$
    Sadly ...you be a slave to keeping it clean. I can just imagine what the glass will look like after a day or 2 two?

    But......... good habits regarding cleaning / maintenance etc will be the trick ---here !

    That's a lot of frog poop !

    You might seriously think about a simple wet paper towel substrate / at least - 2 lg feeding bowls / and 3 or 4 soaking dishes
    This will enable you to keep things really clean. All of this will have to be changed out every-other day.

    Also adding soil substrate in this tank will take up a lot of needed ' living' space.
    Keep in mind - there is 5" below the doors of the 24 and 36H exos.
    So........... 36 x 18x 5 is a lot of space to give up when adding substrate--- just a thought---my 2 cents.

    That --area's volume --- is approximately 3,240.0 cubic inches = about 14 U.S. gallons

    Sharing
    ----I use 2--- 36H exos for tree frogs one 36 x 36 H and one 24 x 36H --- neither have substrate.
    The screen tops will have to be modified to keep the humidity set.
    And.... they are difficult to keep warm- even a bigger consideration for Whites.

    All things to think about....not impossible ...keep us posted
