    There would be plenty of branches for the frogs and the plant to climb on too, of course Still figuring out the water situation, I also have more than enough dishes and trays that would work, just deciding what would work best in the tank.

    a full mesh cage will never have the humidity you need. No matter how much water you have. The air movement would pull the humidity into the whole room the tank was in. This sounds like a cool idea theory, but I don't see a way for this to work. Unless you replace the mesh with glass

    Lol, replacing an entire mesh cage with glass is the same as building a custom glass enclosure. I agree with Paul, though, I can't think of any way that would work, unless you just got a regular lid for the tank, and only used the mesh screen for having a vining plant grow along the outside of the tank for a visual effect.

    They'd be in my plant room, which already has humidity in the 50's% range, so was wondering. I'm going to set it up and monitor everything this fall/winter before I get the frogs, so I guess that will give me the best indication over all, lol.

    This is where I got the idea White's Tree Frog Fact Sheet - National Zoo Figured if I added a taller bromeliad or two that could cup water it would help too
