If they're not sitting in it theyre sitting in branches or vines above it. Do you need to have a large water section? No. I'm just telling you that my five red eyes like it. I originally only had it this size to help with humidity as I live in So Cal and it can get really dry here in the summer. But now that. I've noticed they all spend so much time on that side of the tank I was thinking of expanding it next summer. Water bowls are perfectly fine and you definately should have them. Change the water every day.
It's good to hear that waterfalls/ponds work well with red eyes because this is something I have always wanted to do. Do you have pictures of your set up on here? I live in southern AZ so I know about the need for extra humidity in the dry seasons too. For me, I used a terrarium moss top layer and if it was extra dry I would add some sphagnum moss and those would keep the humidity up nicely.

Maybe your frog is just of the shyer type? I remember when I first got mine one was fairly shy and had a tendency to hide while the other was extremely friendly and would crawl all over my hand every time I opened the cage for anything.
