    If you find out anything, Please let me know. I'm in the same boat as you.
    Here's what I've found out!

    They can be housed together, I believe it was usually 1 frog from 10 gallon, although 4 were able to be in my 29 gallon tank.
    They're aberoal, meaning they climg so a taller tank is better with trees and branches.
    They require a little pool of water as they are not good swimmer. If there is a larger pool of water there must be something along the side to help them get out if need be.
    They're nocturnal so special lights are night required although some still recommend having a UVB.
    They're fairly reasonable with temperature, I believe they need top be about 75-80º in the day and can drop to about 70-75º at night.

    I hope this helps a little. As i've said, I've read this stuff on the internet and don't know first hand how accurate it all is!

    So, I've re read. It's actually 5 gallons per frog.
    Also the humidity is suppose to be around 80-100%.
    They recommended having a glass top but make sure you allow some ventilation still.

    I orginally though 10, But when I re-read it said 5. Also all the places i've read have the recomendations for a viv.
    Living bottome with gravel, dirt, screen, water and all that. I don't know if it makes a difference or not.

    Thanks for the correction.

    I own 5 RETF's and they have resided in a exoterra 18x18x24 for over a year and are doing great. They are slightly over crowded by some accounts on the net, but they are doing fine in my eyes.

    Males only call in the spring when they want to breed, so get a large one which is usually a female.

    My two male Red's have been calling ever sice I have obtained them 8 months ago. There calls are not loud enough to wake me up in the middle of the night. Although just before my alarm clock goes off around 7:30 AM they have been calling a lot. Guess it matters how you keep your temprature and humidity. ;)
