WTF in 16 gallon storage bin?

[Nyrasoren]

Hello all! I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if a 16 gallon storage bin that's been sanitized with vinegar diluted with water would be a safe place to quarantine a whites tree frog?
Im going out tomorrow to buy hopefully two whites tree frogs, I have a ten gallon set up vertically with a 50 watt bulb to keep the temp at 78f during the day and low 70's at night, damp white paper towels with water and reptisafe, a water dish, food dish, fake plants, and vines to climb on. If I happen to get two frogs, could they be quarantined together, or separately. In the case that separate is the way to go, would the plastic storage bin, horizontally with the same paper towels, dishes, fake plants, and a coconut hide away, be a safe/okay thing to do?

If you provide good ventilation as in cut the top and replace with screen and some drilled holes in the side it may be ok for quarantine. It's just that tree frogs, especially whites need good ventilation and no stagnant air or high moisture, so be sure it's well vented. Also, they should have a basking spot of 85F and a UVB light over a piece of screen. You can keep them together if you got them from the same place.

Thanks for the reply! So I can keep both frogs in the same tank (10gallon) if I get them from the same store?

Yeah if the frogs were sharing a tank before you got them there's no reason to put them in separate places unless the tank's too small. Honestly I can't picture a ten gallon tank in my mind. It might be a little small?

If they aren't going to be there long it might not be bad.

10-gallons way too small, at least 20-gals and larger is best

Sorry if I wasn't clear, the 10 gallon tank is a quarantine tank, as well as the 16 gallon bin. Does this change things? The frogs at the pet store are kept in 5.5 gallon tanks, so I thought that a 10 gallon tank would be alright just for quarantining purposes.
