Advice on Hyla chinensis care?

[joeyboy]

I've read that care sheet stickied at the top of the page, really good.

The only questions I have are:

1) You mention the smallest size exo terra could fit one pair, 2 at a stretch. I think the 45cm x45cm, x60cm is the largest arboreal enclosure, or was at the time of me buying it anyway. So I assume I could possibly fit 6 frogs in something this size?

2) It seems to suggest they do not require a basking spot and room temp(my room is rather warm as it is, 27c as we speak) is sufficient. However I didn't see a mention of UVB, I assume it's not discussed as they don't require it?

UVB would be a good idea.

UVB would be a good idea.

ok cheers, I'll go with a 5% tube then, room temp is still 27c now, never drops below 19c in winter(I have a rather warm room...south facing, other heat sources etc)

Any idea on the capacity of a 45x45x60cm for Hyla sp? If it helps I think that's 33 US gallons? I don't use em being a Brit, don't use gallons at all, litres but not gallons, kind of like you guys use lbs, but not st and lbs it seems.

I am not all that familar with Hyla chinesis. Sorry.

yeah it seems there not kept so often. But since they're the same size as the Gray Tree frog, would you have an estimate based on that species at all? Sorry for being a pain, just want to get this right with them being my first group of phibs. I'll have to make a thread in the enclosures section when it's all set-up before the frogs arrive.

Yes, everything based on Gray Tree Frog. Most temperate and mildly sub-tropical Hyla species require the same basic care.
