White's Dumpy Treefrog Vivarium

[mshine1217]

Hi Xipho, Welcome to the Forum. The best place to learn about White's care is Kurt's article in the Care Sheet section, Frog Forum - White's Tree Frog Care - Litoria caerulea. You can make the enclosure as simple as you want or as detailed as you want. I would start out simple, then as you explore the forum and see examples of what others have done then you can expand and experiment. You might want to consider getting a larger tank, however, if you think that you might get another frog. Petco's $1 per gallon is on until this Saturday. Read the Housing section in Kurt's article and if you anymore questions give a holler.

Hello xipho, I have a Green Tree Frog so I would assume the care, setup, etc. would be similar. Here is a picture of my setup that I have put together in the past 2 days:



As you can see in the second picture, I have a shelf above my tank. I hung the light from that so it is not directly on the tank, which helps with regulating the temperature. If it gets too hot, I can hang it closer to the shelf, and vice versa. You might want a backdrop like I have. It is simply just green paper. I printed it onto 5 sheets of photo paper and taped them on the back, works like a charm. Let us know if you have any other questions!
