    Default Terrarium Size for Waxy

    So I've recently run into some feedback that a 12" x 12" x 18" tall terrarium is too small for an adult Waxy Monkey Tree frog. Thoughts? The one I have spent about a year at the store in a 10 gallon wide, and was in good health when I got him.

    Aquariums or any type of glass-type enclosure aren't ideal for Waxy Monkey Tree frogs as they hold in moisture. You typically want to keep them with VERY low humidity. I kept mine when I had it in a 18" x 18" 20" Repti-Breeze.

    12x12x18 is not perfect, but ok size for one adult waxy male, but for a female you should go size up - 18x18x24. make sure screen top is not obstructed with anything much, they need a very good ventilation and low humidity.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
