She is indeed beautiful, Lor. I'm glad you are taking such passion in her wellbeing. And quite understandably, in wanting to show her off. She'll be very happy with you.

kiralikceset: That sucks you can't get them there!

clownonfire: Thanks, I care about every animal's well being. I don't know anyone who loves and cares about animals as much as I do lol. I'm sure those people are out there, I just don't know any in person .. I had 16 cats and spayed and neutered every single one of them. A few found homes, I'm down to 11.


I'm heading up to the pet stores in Sarnia today (we only have Pet Value in my town and there's nothing exciting there). I made some $ yesterday selling some of my horse tack I don't use, so I can afford to get Orchid her new tank! I'm just not sure if I'm going to go with the 12x12x18 or the 12x12x24. I did want to get the larger size, but it's $108. I can afford it, but I wouldn't have much left over for other things I want to get her as well (wax worms, new plants, a fogger, heat pad, a second water dish).

If you hypathetically only had enough funds for a couple items what would you pick up first? Fogger or heat pad? I do have a night glo lamp that adds a bit of heat, but I also mist constantly lol. And thoughts on what size tank please! I'll be leaving in a couple hours.

Lor, if I were you, I would go for the 12*12*24. The higher your tank will be, the happier your frog will be. That is the most important factor right now: height. So in my opinion, this is where mostly your money should be invested. As for the fogger, I love them (actually, I love the ZooMed Repti Fogger - the Exo-Terra Fogger is absolute rubbish and you should stay away). But it is a nice to have, really. Not necessary. Get a $10 mister at Home Depot in the Garden section, and mist once or twice a day and it will do the trick. There is no need to invest in a fogger. Same with the heat pad. We spoke about it yesterday, but it's not really necessary. I have an American Green Treefrog and a Big-Eyed Tree frog, and I don't have any heat pads in any of their enclosures, and I live not too far away from you in cold Montreal.

I have the monsoon for my thumbnail frogs and for my soon-to-arrive P. terribilis, but not necessary in your treefrog enclosure. Again, go with the good old fashion hand misting.

So, in a nutshell: A high tank, some climbing branches or apparatus for your frog, plants, lots of them (you can get some at Home Depot ago, no need to go fancy, a basic philodendron will provide lots of leafage for little)... Crickets, mealworms occasionally (they are hard to digest) and lots of love, a fresh bowl of water changed daily, and you have a happy frog! If you put more plants, some Repti Glo 2.0 during daytime, and voilÃ*!

Thank you for your imput! I watched videos of both foggers and people said they did like the exo terra one. That is what I was going to get, it can work in as little as 2 inches of water. I don't have any space to put a fogger beside the tank as well. But good thing it's not a big deal to not have one. I guess I'll go with the large tank and a bunch of new plants.
I actually would like to try some real plants (however they died with our tarantulas) but I am not sure what kinds are best to get. Most likely won't try them until summer though when I can find them around to buy.

Honestly, foggers can be practical if you are going on vacations, but so not necessary. For plants, some good old philodendron. Hardy as hell, and will thrive in your enclosure.

Enjoy the shopping, and looking forward to seeing what you got!
