    Default 75 Gallon Vivarium build

    With the recent loss of my male White's Tree Frog in the other major build, it made me realize the animals who paved the way for the new ones as well as the ideas.
    Here are the animals that became the motivation to complete this build and keep it at a high level all year.

    Cromwell never made it to the 75 Gallon because she was quarantined where she would eventually pass. She set up for Dot in the other tank to come to me and better care for Spot.
    Toto Truly the legend of this enclosure, I made sure everything in this build had more time spent and better execution as well as a strict size limit on prey for every Toad and Leopard Frog. If it was not for these two, this enclosure would not look or be as precisely built for the inhabitants now.

    I've done some research on Spring Peepers and from what I gathered I thought they needed a lot of space and a taller tank. I'm not as sure about chorus frogs. If you put the 2 together you have to look at the risks of an enclosure like that. 2-3 peepers might be good in like a 29-40 Gallon because they need a lot of space like most tree frogs. The habitat temperature humidity and size must be equal or one species will become ill and wipe out your enclosure. A build like this will also cost a lot of money. I put around $4,000 in so far and it's been 2 years. If you are still stuck on these species try owning one of each for over a year and study them. Ask questions on here and research like crazy and you will have your answer. A mixed build requires much research and planning for success. I spent 2 years researching before I came to the conclusion on the animals some plants and the size of the tank. You should ask on the tree frogs thread there opinion of this because I am not as educated on local tree frogs. Thank you for your support, I want to help you and give you the advice that I had to find and learn from this experience. There is no cutting corners when lives are on the line. Thanks again I hope this helps!
