Hi,

I read somewhere that a 10 gallon tank would be suitable for a Gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor). So I was wondering if a regular 10 gallon aquarium converted into a vertical terrarium would be fine?.... and if the 10 gallon size is right in the first place.

Since they only get to about half the size of a big leopard frog, I figure 10 gallon could potentially be alright. Is it a proper minimum? I think I read you could fit two in there, but that sounds like a stretch to me.

Would the above idea be too narrow?

Do you have any advice about what wood to put or avoid putting in the enclosure? I know for many amphibians using wood found outside can be an issue since some are bad for them. What species would you recommend? (I live in south-eastern Canada [south Quebec], so it would have to be species from south-eastern Canada / north-eastern United States.) Or would you recommend not using any wood from outside.

I was also wondering if anyone knows if they are ok with lots of disturbance during the day (i.e., getting switched to a transport terrarium, traveling, having lots of kids look at it [without handling it, of course], etc.) even though they are mostly nocturnal.
