Hello Everyone!! I live in South Carolina and caught a green tree frog a couple weeks ago on my pourch. I have since built a nice vivarium out of a 20 gallon tank for him. The question at hand is, I want to get a red eye treefrog for the aquarium and maybe another green tree frog. I know I probably need to humidify the tank, but what size and kind of humidifier do I need? Any suggestions would be appreciated and anything else anyone wants to through in about other things I need would be great too. I pretty much went by the care sheet for my green tree frog as I am a newbie at this. Thanks in advance!! -Brendon
im not sure but i don't think you should combine the different types of frogs in it, it would probably be best if you only got another green tree frog. also make sure u have a 20 gallon tall tank. i dont have green tree frogs or plan to get them but this is all stuff i have heard repeated a billion times so i hope it helps.
nope definately don't put different species together - *especially* amphibians and ESPECIALLY red-eyeds. red-eyeds (and all amphibians) are very sensitive to their surroundings and to other amphibians. just keep with the green tree frog for now - they make great beginner frogs, although i must say that i really think you should release the frog you found and purchase one from a breeder or even a pet store. we need as many wild frogs as possible out there and most of the amphibian species in north america have dwindling numbers as it is. you can purchase a green tree frog for, like, $5 though. also, it may be illegal to keep wild frogs where you live. i'd highly recommend releasing the one you found an buying a frog instead. here's my currently-under-construction green tree frog care sheet: American Green Tree Frog Care Sheet (click here!) if you spray the tank down with warm water once a day and use Coconut Fiber Bedding you shouldn't need a humidifier - especially just for an american green. good luck!
Thanks for the advice, I was wondering though in your green tree frog care sheet. It says for winter time, 2 hours of light. Is that right or did you mean 12?
oh gosh! does it say that!? no it definately is supposed to say 12 hours of light per day during winter! i will go change that - thanks for letting me know!! and good luck!
