    Default Re: Best amphibian for small enclosure

    Tree frogs, even the smaller ones, are aboreal, and like to move around, so I really worry about putting them in an enclosure that small. Again, they might survive for a little while, but they will not thrive and their lifespans will be shortened. Glass frogs' recommended enclosure size is a 20G - http://www.joshsfrogs.com/catalog/bl...d-glass-frogs/

    A tiger legged monkey tree frog could live in a 10G, but will do better in 20. They need a basking spot that will be above your room temp, so you would need to provide heating: http://www.joshsfrogs.com/catalog/bl...na-care-sheet/

    I would not put a frog into the enclosure that you have.

    I agree 100%. That is way too small of an enclosure for any kind of amphibian, especially with no support equipment. A tarantula, walking stick, millipede or some other invert would be the best creature for that small of an enclosure.
