Hi AllyM
I just make a small list of what I would start with if doing just one or maybe 2 Whites Tree Frogs.
This list is provided to give you an idea of what you'll need to start off. There are many brands out there and the ones I selected are for example only.


Exo-Terra Glass Terrarium (12X12X18) - $59.99 - Taller is better for you Whites

Exo-Terra Canopy Top (11.8 x 3.5 x 5.9 inches) - $23.99 - Plus choose about a 15 or 25 watt bulb to run at least 12 hours a day. Temps should be 80 degrees in the day and its trial and error with choosing the bulb to get this right

Exo-Terra Desert Heatwave under tank heater (Extra Small) - $17.99
I use this in case its cool at night and I need to raise temp up and create humidity at night

Hydroton 2L (8/16 mm) - $3.95 - Bottom Layer you might need two packages

Plantation Soil - $3.59 - 2nd from bottom layer (coco-fiber works well too) Again you might need two packages

Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss (200 g) - $4.95 - Top Layer New Zealand Moss can be bought in a sheet also - one package covers a 12 x 12 inch bottom easily

Exo-Terra Digital Thermo-Hygrometer - $19.99 - Placed near top where your Whites will be hiding. The 3 - 4 dollar ones are fine just compare them to others on display to make sure they are working

Exo-Terra Spray Bottle (2 Liter) - $7.99 - Mist daily at a minimum

Add: Vines, Piece of wood or bamboo pieces, Water Dish, Water Conditioner, Wipe Out surface cleaner, Cricket feed and drink, and any other decorations to create hides and places to climb.


Clean anything entering the enclosure such as wood, sticks, water dish, and so on.
When setting up try to create areas to climb and places to hide in the vines or leaves up high where you'll find them sleeping all day.


Hope this helps
