Tanks are cheap. Craigslist, kijiji, garage sales, wherever. They don't need to hold water either (except up to a few inches if you have a drainage layer, or live plants you water), so you can get some cheapo bargains in old, used aquarium land from people hesitant to trust a leaky 35 gallon with a full load of water after a home repair job. Think of it this way- would you rather live in a 400sq ft bachelor apartment that you aren't allowed to leave, or an 1800 sq ft loft? Especially when you are stuck in it with some smelly guy who always tries to sit on the part of the sofa with your butt groves worn in it? The more space the merrier, especially in the upwards direction for treefrogs.

Ventilation is more important than humidity in my opinion, and I'd do without the saran wrap. They are native to your area, just keep it in the range of your outdoor summers and you're cool. You can keep the humidity in the tank up by misting a couple times a day (more if needed).

Live plants also do wonders for humidity. Fill the tank with Pothos if you have trouble with live plants. It's near invincible. A ~$2-3 13watt CFL bulb sitting on the top of the tank in an ~$6 work or desk light will be enough for the plants in the size of tank you have. No need to spend $20 on a bulb. You don't need a timer (though it makes it easier), just turn it on in the morning and off at night.

And do read the stuff on how they are bred (that entire care article is fantastic)- the more you know about the life cycle of your pet the better you can understand how to care for it.

Finally... good luck
