Mossy frog or milk frog?

[Teh Frog Whisperer]

Right now, I'm trying to decide between getting a Vietnamese mossy frog or an Amazon milk frog. If it would help, my only previous frog keeping experience is with my Budgett's frog. Can you please help me decide?

Wow that's a tough one...both of those are on my want list as well.

Both amazing frogs. I have never kept either one of them personally, but I know if I set up another enclosure I would go for amazon milks Totally up to you though Check out care sheets on both frogs and go from there.

Yes, they both are lovely frogs. You could always have both and set up two enclosures. That way you have no dilemma .

I wish I could keep both of them, but I honestly don't feel like I have enough space or money for both frogs at the moment.

You could buy a bigger tank and seperate it in the middle.

I've got a few more questions:

-How would I go about heating a milk frog cage?
-Can a mossy frog be kept at room temperature?
-Do they require live plants?
-What's the best way to maintain the required humidity?

What can I plant my mossy frog terrarium with? I was thinking about using bamboo from a pet store-how's that sound?

[Eric Walker]

it wont cause a problem but they most likely wont climb on it when they get bigger.
any philo would most likely be fine expecially those with thick leaves. also maby some anubias. in the one I have shown there is a very large broad leafed orchid that I do not have an id for that is doing very well.

What kind of plants can fit in a 20-gallon tank?

[Eric Walker]

a 20 will be way to small for mossies unless they are froglets.

Alrighty, then. What's the minimum cage size for one adult mossy frog?
