    Default 75 Gallon Vivarium build

    Thanks! It depends on how many frogs and toads along with the sexes and size of the tank. The Toads may not do well in a paludarium but the Leopard Frogs like coming on land more than any other pond frog. As long as they have 3-4 inches deep and can swim around they will do great. If you have more female leopard frogs it may be a problem because they are bigger and more territorial so if you have like a 125+ gallon you can have 2 females and a few toads. The reason is to let the species get away from each other if needed. I never had a female frog in this setup but I can tell you 75 gallons if you want an authentic feel is good for 3 between toads and leopards. You may be able to do 4 which is what I had hoped, but I'm not anymore so you could attempt that. The Toads only let off the toxin if threatened and I've never seen a toad use it. I also used judgment not putting a small toad that could be eaten by a big frog together. I asked an expert and did 2 years of research on both and if a big tank is supplied, I believe this is the most rewarding and natural mix of any frogs and toads possible because they cohabitate, are easily adaptable to humidity and temperatures, get the same size, come into contact in the wild, and don't mind either ones presence. I hope this helps, I wouldn't put my toads in a paludarium but the frogs can be in a 3-1 land to water ratio. I have videos on my YouTube page of my last two attempts. I'm going to be updating this tank in the next few months.
