    It's also always a good idea to have variations within the enclosure... a "wet" side and a "dry" side, a "warm" upper region near heatlamps and cooler lower region. All should be within the recommended range for the species, but that way your frog can decide how they like it and spend the most time in that area. I have different species in one large enclosure, and that technique has worked very well for me. My RETF stays at the warm/wet quadrant and my White's stays in the cooler/arid quadrant. Everyone's happy.

    did I miss something? Lol... I have a White's and a RETF in one enclosure. No worries, it's plenty large and I keep all specs within both species' ideal ranges. And the Beardie has his own enclosure. Lol.

    It's actually not advisable to mix species in one enclosure, no matter how large.

    Well, I had heard it's not ideal but that was after they'd been roomies for a year. I checked with my exotics vet, she wasn't concerned, and they've lived together for years now and are both thriving and very healthy.
