What DOES your tank look like?

Your tree frogs use to live here....What does your tank look like?

Awesome thread, Cheri! I'll post a pic of my American Green Tree frog tank as soon as I can get one without a flash.

Beezy. I did take a look. Your tank seems about right. It's high, you have branches, there are plants (I would add more pothos, and would remove the fake plants - the plastic is so rigid on these fake plants that they can cut the frogs). You have a bowl of water which is also very important.

Now I do have one major concern: I see a American green tree frog in the same habitat as the Big-Eyed tree frog.... That my friend is a big no-no! In general we suggest that no species of frogs should be mixed together, unless you are a herpetologist working in a zoo and you are recreating the natural environment of species who live together in a micro-system.

Also, AGTF and BETR have different requirements. Your BETF needs higher humidity as opposed to your AGTF. Too much for one will be detrimental like too little will be for the other one... And the skin toxins they both secrete are not healthy for each other.... Look up "slow poison" with frogs...

Wohow, time to put on the happyhat!
That's a good advice to put in the advice thread; let the terrarium grow for a while before adding frogs. I plantes mine about... 4 months ago, maybe more. And it's only becomming a better and better home for the froggies to come. Of course you hardcore froggods now that, but perhaps it will enlight someone new to the hobby

What about the plant Tony, why is he scaring you?

What about the plant Tony, why is he scaring you?

Dieffenbachia contains very high concentrations of calcium oxalate crystals in its tissues and sap, it is a powerful skin irritant for humans and can cause severe reactions and even fatalities when it is ingested or absorbed through the mucus membranes. Since a frogs skin is so permeable the likelihood of harm from contacting the sap is high enough that I avoid using them.

I am aware that they are dangerous when digested, but so are pothos. I have been told that they only are a real threat to animals who might eat them, such as cats. So, if pothos is safe (which is has to be, it's like the king amongst terrarium plants), I figured that plant is as well. It has been recommnded in several forum as well.

So, is it more dangerous for frogs than pothos, and how if that's the case? I don't want to harm the future frogs, but I would like to be sure before doing anything

Great thread, and I love how it's creating excitement and friendly competition amongst members.

The first picture is one of my Pacific Chorus Frog's setups.

-All live plants

Second picture is of my Super Tiger Legs habitat.
-Great stuff/silicone background/ siding
-False bottom
-Bathroom tiles as water barrier
-All live plants
-Two separate waterfalls... one right up front and one in the back trickles down a real slate waterfall

The last picture is of my Tiger Leg monkey frogs habitat which is the first tank I ever made. I have since then added many many more plants for them.

Should have. It wasn't any of the build posts but has been in my albums.
Wish it had the height of the Whites Zoo Med though.

I like this post, so I give it a bump. There are new things to share in it.

My mantella paludarium. I just got it back from a friend who was caring for it while I couldn't house it. It just got a thorough cleaning, removed a bunch of plants and added in some new ones
