    These were all from a local garden center, they mostly work with outdoor plants though, so they didn't have a huge selection of tropicals. The worker there was telling me that they're having issues getting cuban tree frogs in all their shipments (their shipments come from Florida.) They aren't allowed to release them so workers have been taking them home without any knowledge on how to care for them. I left them my name and number and told them I'd find homes for them from now on. I'll just have set up an extra quarantine tank haha.

    I love the ferns, I'm clueless as to why I haven't had them in my grey tree frog tank! They look so nice.

    ETA - Do you think I could house 3 RETF's in that size tank? Most of what I read says that 4 could go in a 20 high...that just seems so small to me though. I have 4 greys in a 35g tall hex and that seems small to me some days. I know I would have to get more broad leaf plants and probably add a few more branches for retf's.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    That is neat (free cute frogs)!! What stores are these; is it Lowe's, or some place like that?
    I'll have to check the stores in my area.

    My plant shop also gets Cubans in from time to time and I have taken some in and found them homes. But be cautious if you do. Cuban tree frogs get large and are ravenous. The Cubans I had made my white's look like thumbnail darts lol

    4 grey's in a 35 sounds a bit crowded, but I know you have had them in there a while, so they definitely adapted.
