Ah! I miss my grays, what eating machines they were.

Ebony, Chris-those are some great setups. Ponder, yours is really coming along. Some very lucky frogs! Really great ideas-I hope my final effort looks half as good as those! Thanks for sharing!
Here is the update version of my Hyla chyrsoscelis enclosure. I still consider it temporary digs for my trio and my daughter's pair that live in it, but it meets the "lots of horizontal hang-outs" rule now, and has lots more elevated hides.
If you look closely, you can see tree frog butt in one of the holes on the fake wood. I reallly need to paint those soon...if the frogs would move out for a few days...
Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!
I was reading that Hyla chyrsoscelis are prairie dwellers (at least where I live) and rarely will they enter the forest, so I have to wonder how many horizontal resting places they really need. Noted that mine sleeps in a horizontal position during the day, but sometimes on the back glass. 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.
Getting better? She has 3 big branches and a log hideaway that she loves sleeping in

Last night-you can see her on the top branch

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.

Yes mine seems to prefer the same two spots. I have plans for making a large living woodland terrarium, so once things get rolling on that, I'll be posting picks of the construction process.
I just finished my female african bullfrog's final life-long enclosure!
