    I was reading about it all last night. Stuff I read says that it is good to mix green tree frogs with gray tree frost as they're normally together int he wild. BUT if you read about green tree frog care, it says a grays will dominate and eat all the food.

    Soooo... When I'm ready, it will definitely be another grays. Thanks for the advice

    They should be the same size- anything that moves and a gray treefrog thinks will fit in its mouth is something that it will try to eat.

    In my experience, Grays are not in any way social. Not that they are anti-social either though, my two adults pretty much ignore one another all the time (the exception is Waldos futile attempts to woo the uninterested Fatty). Similar experience with wild ones outside of breeding time, they will sit on each other, but they also sit on rocks.

    Male Gray's sound awesome, I love it when Waldo is trilling. They will call at night too which might be disturbing if they have to be close to your bedroom, so if that's a problem go for a female I suppose.

    I would also discourage mixing species unless you are an experienced keeper. But don't let this stop you from getting another species- you can always make room for more tanks.

    Oh, I'm sure eventually there will be another vivarium and another species LOL Looking through these other frog pics, there are some really beautiful ones that I would like. I like the idea of a male calling, but I'm not sure if it would bother me at night, that's something I'd have to think about. We live right by a pond though, so that's all I hear at night anyways! LOL

    Adding another gray seems like a great idea. Although not necessarily social, I think it will be a great way to really deepen your knowledge on the species. This is such a great way of ending up being quite specialized and making sure that everything they need is met, and you are surely on your way with everything I have been reading.

    Thanks Eric, I have been trying hard to make sure I read up on everything there is to know, there is nothing quite like hands on experience though. Im a pretty serious person when it comws to caring for living things!
