    This is the one I was talking about: (second one on this page, not the 12x12x12):

    Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrariums, Habitats | Pet Solutions

    I have the Exo-Terra and I wouldn't buy again due to the price and not so great quality of materials (the sealing was flawed and the mesh in the roof rusts very easily).

    The one you linked is a mesh terrarium and I don't like these for treefrogs because you can't keep the humidity up. Those are really better for chameleons.

    I have luck with a 20 gallon long tank standing up on end. I cut and siliconed a piece of Lexan to cover the bottom third of the tank opening. Then I got some of that DIY window screen frame and made one to fit. Once the plastic screening is installed, I use adhesive Velcro strips to keep it firmly in place.

    Ebony, that is a very cool outdoor enclosure! Very lush and green. I wish I could have an outdoor one here...sigh. Stupid snow and freezing temperatures!! Can't wait to see some of your indoor setups!

    Hi Jace, Thanks for your kind words.
    We have sometimes had snow too. Ive even had a Frog(way back when I first got into Frogs)freeze in the water and I thought it was done for but when the day warmed up the Frog basically defrosted and was hopping around as normal. I still have that very frog.
    I think if you have anough room you could make an outdoor enclosure inside. You could put it in a corner somewhere.

    Hi John

    I keep My lovely big Adult Southern Bells and Green and Golden Bell Frogs in there. Half of the Frogery has a roof and It is lined with a hard clear plastic 1 metre from the bottom which keeps a bit of moisture in. It also has irregation. These Frogs have been together as tadpoles and get on well.
    My Whistling tree frogs are kept in 2 out door tanks that I made with a tunnel that seperated the two tanks into a land side and a pond side. They breed realy well in that situation. My indoor enclosures have my young Frogs in.

    Pretty basic but I'm adding to it almost twice a week. Seems that my Gray Tree Frog likes the stick more than the branches which is good because now they need to be removed as all of their leaves have fallen off. Here's the newest decorative piece (s) I added to the tank:



    Just took 2 trunk halves from the bushes I had cut down and cut off 2 little branches from the little piner's out in front of my house, for this frog he's been in the clump once. Seems my Fowler's Toads (who have their own tank and also have the same basic set up) are enjoying the pine clumps and trunk halves more in their cage lol.
