Gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) lighting

[Mr Leopard]

Thanks Scott.

I was thinking about placing it in my livingroom in the winter and in my room in the summer (I have AC in my room because I keep salamanders there). But I'm concerned about the noise, in spring. Would wrapping the terrarium in foam at night (with a few air holes) be good enough? Or is it not good enough and / or not advisable. I could probably place it on my balcony, but then, what about the neighbors?

I love their sound, but I've never had to sleep with one only a few meters away.

As for the disturbances, I also meant actual moving of the frog (i.e. getting switched to a transport terrarium and moved to another location). I probably won't happen often, at first, but eventually it could happen several times a week.

It depends... Some people take their frogs out of their tanks at every feeding, but I wouldn't move them on a regular basis. They are pretty tolerant critters, but several times a week in a different tank seems like pushing it to me. You can probably just leave them in your room year round, unless it gets really cold in the winter. Really if they are well fed you can let them hibernate, but I lost a frog that way. She wasn't quite bulked up enough the second year, and I think that's why she died... As for noise suppression, foam will help, but don't forget it, and let the tank overheat during the day!
