Red Eyed Tree Frog - Habitat Questions

[charlamanda]

A large number of common vivarium plants are poisonous to some degree, but most are not going to cause problems. Arrowhead plants (Syngonium) are fine, they are common viv plants and I have personally used them for years. Other common toxic plants include pothos, Monstera, Philodendron, and Ficus. The only toxic plant I make a real effort to avoid is Dieffenbachia since the sap is a powerful skin irritant and the plant is delicate enough that frogs are likely to damage it and contact the sap.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was an problem, but I'd rather mention it and be wrong than to see someones frog die from it, ya know what I mean. I am glad you clarified it, thanks.

I still took out the biggest arrowhead since I saw that as the one they would have most visited to leaf sit.



As for add some more info on the leaf litter... so far It works great for keeping the frogs from being covered in plantation soil, but, it adds so many places for crickets to hide and never be found.

Even feeing in the bowl, you do lose crickets from the bowl when the frogs sit in the bowl providing traction for the crickets to escape.

I removed some leaf littler, washed it up and dried it out for later use. I left a small amount to walk on and provide a place to sit the water dish and cricket bowl.
