Let's see those Frog and Toad Enclosures!

[SludgeMunkey]

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.

Hi there, This is my out door enclosure that I call my Frogery. It is 2metres by 2metres. The plants have grown alot since this photo. I will take some of my indoor enclosures.

[SludgeMunkey]

Magnificent!

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!

[Ebony]

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.

Ebony, what kind of frogs do you keep in there?

[Ebony]

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.

[SludgeMunkey]

WOW! I cannot wait to see more of your set ups, and steal your ideas!

[Ebony]

Thanks Johnny, Im so flattered and would be happy if I could help with enclosure set up idea's.

Here are some pictures of one my indoor enclosures for my young Frogs. I find these enclosures are ok for inside only. It has mesh on the top which must not get wet as they can rust. This tanks is 60cm H by 45 w by 45 D. Its good for my Frogs that love to climb and sit up high. I have a mix of live and fake plants. The frogs love to climb around on the vines. I have lots of living moss which my Frogs love to sit on.

I posted an earlier picture of Dumper's (WTF) home, but since removed the PVC pipes for a more natural look.

Dumper's 20gal high tank was built from 2 standard 10gal tanks stacked on top of each other with the glass removed. This allows for two distint areas he can move freely through. The bottom half contains a partial false bottom, homemade rain curtain and a small pond. This is the cooler wet area. The top half contains mossy ledges on both sides and lots of vines and fake plants to climb and hide.

The other tank (also 20gal modular) was built by my gf for the green tree frogs and contains a homemade bridge, waterwall and lots of vines, plants and a ledge on the second level (not shown as it's still a WIP). They got the upgrade last night and have been very noisy since. I think it's because of the running water and one of them climbed into it and decided he was going to "quack" for 5 minutes straight. it was cute at first...

Jade, our new new female WTF is currently only in a 10gal but it's 3 times the size she was in at the pet store and has lots of hiding spaces and perching areas. When the two are able to be united, I will be adding this tank to Dumpers creating a 30 gallon modular with some type of side opening panel.

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.
