    Ok I see...

    Well the easiest way to do this would be to just set them up in their permanent tank, the one they will be using as adults, so you don't have to transfer them later, but if you are bent on keeping them in a less permanent tank I'd say just get a 10 or 15 gallon horizontal tank and put as many branches and climbing things in there as you can to keep them happy.

    I have one large White's and one baby. When I got the baby I used the initial tank that I was keeping my big guy in while he was sick. It's just a small ten gallon horizontal, like I recommended, with paper towel substrate (to monitor bowl movements and food consumption better). I put a place for him to hide, a water bowl, and a fake fern for him to climb or hide under if he wants.

    Do you know how big the babies are going to be when you get them? That knowledge could be helpful when you're picking a temporary tank. My baby White's is about 1 1/2 inches long at this point, about 3 cm, and he's doing fine in the ten gallon for now, until he's big enough to go into the 18x18x24 I have my big guy in.

    Does that help? O:

    I use a 12 x 12 x 18, simple setup with paper towel, a potted ficus, and a shallow water dish. I have about 80% of the top covered to retain humidity but still allow for proper ventilation. Here is a P. hypochondrialis froglet at 3 weeks OOW:

    Oh my gosh it's so small! >< I would be afraid I'd hurt the little thing. And I thought my baby White's was tiny and he's about 1 1/2 inches! ><
