What is the Best Tree Frog for a display

[j3000]

I am home all day and night I am on disability but my wife works during the day if that helps decide what kind of frogs might be helpful

I've re-read this thread. Basically, it comes down to the effort and the investment in time and money you and your wife want to put in.

Diurnal:

Fire-Bellied toads are not expensive, are very active, their enclosure is easy to build and maintain. They are bold, and you might even hear them at night croak if you have males. Conclusion: Easy, low in costs and time investment. Beautiful to look at.

Dart frogs: I'm not sure this is your best bet by what I'm reading. They are more expensive, and will need a specific enclosure: higher temperature and very high humidity. Plants also are extremely important in their enclosures. You will also need to feed them fruit flies, and although you can easily order some depending on where you are, I believe that having fruit flies culture is the way to go. Conclusion: More expensive and work extensive.

Nocturnal:

Treefrogs would be a great bet. You can go with the American Green Treefrog, which you will find basically anywhere. Their enclosure is easy to make. Conclusion: Easy, low in costs and time investment.

I also have a Big Eyed Treefrog which is beautiful, easy to take care of (they need more humidity, so be prepared to mist once or twice a day). Males will croak too, quite often, which I love. Conclusion: Easy, low in costs and time investment.

These are the frogs I know that I would suggest. Kisa and Leefrogs will certainly suggest White Treefrogs, which I think would be a good choice, but I do not know them enough to say more.

Same goes for pacman frogs. Easy from what I read, and a good choice for beginners, but I will let the experts speak.

Good luck!

I ment to say moonlight bulbs. I knew what they were. I just couldn't think of them. I called my sister about the aquraium it is longer then taller. I am thinking about the firebelly toads with some nice plants put in. with a nice waterfall put in the corner. Now could I add anoles to the mix or will that cause a problem.

I have had pacman frogs before and they eat anything that they can get there mouths around. Also I have had cane toad before and they eat everything. I named him dog because he was half the size of one of my daschunds.

I say it'd be best if you're getting frogs that everyone can enjoy, meaning you and your wife are both home at night so nocturnal frogs wouldn't be so bad as you can both view them when they're awake, at least for a short period of time.

However, if you're looking for a frog that is going to be shown to guests I would go with a frog that is awake during the day.

But as always, I am an advocate of tree frogs, which are all nocturnal.

Well I read the caresheet for the FBT and that is alot of water to much water for me to deal with so noww I am going to read about the white tree frog.

right on, whites r awsome, hand feeding alone makes them more fun. Glad yr better. Whites will cheer u up, no doubt, everytime.
