10 is a little small - how high is it?

1 foot
For a tree frog you want taller than it is wide or deep. I would say 1.5 feet is the very minimum.

ok thanks
I haven't tried it yet, myself, but I've read of people propping 10 gallons up on their side to get a taller enclosure out of the same tank. You might have to build your own lid, or modify the current one as the original top would no longer be efficient, and I'd be careful of heavy decorations, as the frame isn't constructed to support weight on its side, but it could work if you don't have a taller tank handy at the moment.
or you could do what I did. purchase another 10gal. (cheap), remove the bottom glass (keep the plastic base and glue it back together if you broke it like I did) and stack it on top of the other 10 gal. tank. If you do this, make sure you glue the base of the top tank to the top of the bottom tank, then the top is secure and you can simply lift it off for cleaning. This worked great for my WTF since he no longer spends time pacing back and forth along the top of the tank... now he explores along the branches and perches I built for him and never climbs on the glass. I'm thinking about doing this for my green tree frogs this weekend.
