I am planning on getting a whites tree frog and I have been preparing for a few months now. I currently have a 18 x 18 x 24 exo terra tank that I bought for a WTF. I have the compact top for it and a low wattage heat bulb and a low uvb ( I heard mixed opinions about having uvb but I figured it wouldnt hurt to have it) In the tank I have a eco earth/abg mix ( I plan on doing all feedings off the substrate to avoid any impaction) and a very large water bowl. I also have a few fake plants for now and some vines.


Here are a few things I want to know:


Do WTFs need hides?

I have heard of WTFs that don’t turn brown, what are those called?



What can I use as perches? The vines would work for a baby but I think they might be too small for an adult.


Supplements? I have reptivite and reptical with and without d3, what and how often?


Any other help or suggestions will help me a lot!
