Green Tree Frogs' Tank size

[hannahtheawesomest]

I plan on getting 2 adults green tree frogs but how big should the tanks (regular and quarantine)???

If you have 2 adults in one tank, ideally you should have a 20 gallon vertical.

The 20 High tanks are only about 5 dollars more so its worth the extra cash and then set it up vertical.
There are a pile of threads in titled coustruction journal or build journal that should help in making a door for the front or you can call AAAFrogs and order a front pre-made.

Probably only about 30 bucks for a front plus shipping from them.

I added "bigger" to the poll and put my vote there.

[hannahtheawesomest]

Creepy how you can do that.

Considering John Clare is not just an admistrator, he is the very founder of Frog Forum, I figure he can do as much as his website managing skill allows him to

[hannahtheawesomest]

Its still creepy...

[hannahtheawesomest]

But John how big is bigger???

[ViperJr]

If you ask me, you should not ask what the minimum tank size is. It's a strange approach. You should instead ask yourself what the maximum size your wallet and apartment/house can support. I'm personally no fan of this minimun req. approach. When you figure out what size you can get, then check if it's large enough to give them a proper home.

Also, "ideally" they should be in the wild, in the big terrarium our planet created and tries to maintain
20 gallon is not ideal by any means, but it's certainly better than 10 or 15.

Just my 2 cents.

I also voted for "Bigger". I have a lone one in a 13 Gallon tall tank and I think it's getting too small as it has grown up. A 29 Gallon tall is in the works at which point I will consider getting another american green treefrog*.

Any old 10 gallon aquarium (with a secure lid) should be fine for a quarantine tank. It's only for 1 or 2 months. If you are getting them from the same place and putting them in an empty tank on their own (which is hopefully the case), I don't think a quarantine period is necessary.


*You are talking about American green treefrogs (Hyla cinerea) and not Australian Green Treefrogs (aka Whites, Dumpy, or Litoria caerulea) which are a fair bit larger?

Change of plans people!!! I am only getting one.
