    Hi there
    So far so good!, if i were to add anything i would add a backround to make the froggy feel more secure (you can just use black paper but, its your choice) and by the looks of it, i think when the frog gets bigger, he may be to heavy for those leaves! for a stronger plant i would suggest Bird's nest fern and/or Calathea plants, but if you cant find any, i would just choose the ones with the leaves that seem the strongest for a tropical plant.

    Have fun with your frogs

    I'm not quite sure how I feel about live plants quite yet as I'm totally new with most reptiles let alone frogs. And I only have two Leos and a Tarantula so they aren't in any need of plants at all really.
    I'll keep an eye out for some heavier leafed plastic plants and maybe some that are on the ground and not only on the sides of the tank. I have a background that came on the inside of the tank but it's paper so I'll tape it to the back on the outsize to make them feel more comfortable. Also, does anyone know the max amount of frogs I should have in here? 3-4?

    Hi again
    If your looking for large plastic plants, i would look into the Exo terra smart plants they stay on the ground and come as bromeleads and large broad leaf plants. for an 18x18x24, its about thirty gallons so i would keep a maximum of two whites tree frogs in there.
