Im thinking of setting up a terraium with tall orchid plants,as well as broad leafed pothos, as the orchids would at least kind of resemble prairie land plants in structure.
Prairie Dwellers, yes, but of gallery forests. These frogs definitely prefer the trees and the "standard" two inch thick branches with many hides. I often spot them as high as 15 feet off the ground in the gallery forests around the Missouri River.

Without horizontal perches in captivity, they hide under the moss in the tank and go off food. As soon as I provided lots of horizontal, they became much more active, each one picking out their own branch and sticking to it....literally.
