White's tree frog!!!

[The Whites]

I am going to buy a White's Tree frog on Wed. Here is a pic of the enclosure:

If you have any questions and suggestions, please reply!

Congrats !! The enclosure looks nice! Im assuming its an 18x18x24? The frog will appreciate a little more climbing area though

[The Whites]

Yes. It is an 18 by 18 by 24 Exo Terra. I will do my best. I might not be able to give it some more room

Not more room, more branches - Think "tree." Here is a good care sheet for you to read over - Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea - You will have to share some pictures of your new friend!

I would get some silk plants to hang from the glass so he/she has something to hide behind and or get some magnaturals. Mine LOVE them. You also want to cover the sides and back so he/she doesn't get all stressed out then you bring em' home.

[The Whites]

Artificial plants? Or live?

[Frogman1031]

Well, for short periods, the humidity can be super high. However, longer periods above 80 or so can cause respiratory problems long term

I added some x-tra branches (thx lilypad). The vine is a silk vine (thx kueluck). Hope you like it!

Hi all!

I picked up the frog. Currently, it seems really stressed, and only came out once. It has been in its terrestrial hide almost 24/7. How many more days would it take to come out?

It'll probably start coming out late at night soon and then come out more in evenings. It may take a while to get used to you. Frogs have different temperments. Some are always a little shy. I think I have a shy one since it took a couple weeks for him to get used to me enough to come out and watch me while I sat reading. (And then he got scared by the vet and wasn't feeling too well from antibiotics so he's back to hiding a lot.)

It can take up to a few weeks for then to get adjusted to you. My frog adjusted to me almost immediately though and I actually feed her by hand now.

0.1.0 Psuedacris regilla

Covering enclosure sides will help frog adjust to new home .

Hi all! Just an update! I have been observing the terrarium and noticed that the frog has settled and seems to like to explore the terrarium! Thank you all for your kind suggestions!

[The Whites]

Hi all!

I am thinking of getting Coral (My frog) a companion. Do you guys think it would benefit the frog?

Thanks

If you do you'll need to be getting a bigger terrarium than an 18"x18"x24". A medium/tall Exo-terra, 24"x18"x24", is a suitable size for two adult WTFs. White's do seem to like company, but enough space is important for happy/healthy frogs.
