Hello from Michigan!

Not trying to be rude, but if you have to ask these questions then you haven't done enough research and this is where books are needed for the in-depth info required to properly care for them

Some books I would suggest getting are breeding terrarium animals by Elke Zimmerman, which gives a lot of information, some on red eyes and many other herps. It is old, but the small section on red-eyes is accurate. Popular tree frogs by De Vosjoli, Mailloux and Ready is another good one and gives you the info you need to quaratine and advice on care, treatment of disease, designing planted tanks and diet. There's a lot of other books out there and some of them I find to be very basic and poor.

Hi, I think Dace was suggesting the others because for a beginner tree frog these would be a lot more forgiving to any small mistakes then the Red Eye. Red eyes aren't usually recommended for a starter tree frog.

I talk to my son. We have agreed to get a White's tree frog instead. The tree frog book that I have said that they are excellent for beginners.

Welcome! I'm sure you'll love your white's tree-frog, they are an easy to care of species and are fun to own! Let us know if you hit any bumps in the road, and we'll be happy to help!

White's are pretty tolerant for a frog. Do keep in mind that if you have one it could live for ten to twenty years though!

Petco has a terrarium vertical kit for $80 by Zilla. It dimensions are 12 x 12 x 18. Is that big enough for 1 frog?

[jasonm96]

Big enough for a juvenile, but you'll need at least an 18 x 18 x 24" for an adult or two, ideally larger
