Any Suggestions?

[FrogGirl]

I'm going to be buying a new tank for my White's Tree Frogs. I want to make their new home as homey as possible. Any suggestions? Any tips for planting live plants?

Make the tank high and deep, provide the right humidity and temps... You can buy all sorts of great suppies at Blackjunge.com

I like to use dentra bedding, but I made the first 2 or 3 inches with a special substrate I got from black jungle (Terra-Lite) this will alow proper drainage...etc.

You can also get live plants, the options are endless...
What are you looking to do?

I want to get this type of tank. Exo Terra - Products: Glass Terrarium


I plan to purchase the biggest one I can find. Then I plan to plant live plants, but for water I want to stick with the water dish. Since for White's it's only suppose to be deep enough for them to sit in anyways. This will make it easier to make sure it stays clean.

Is a false bottom recommended for live plants? Or would a layer of rocks under the substrate work to help keep things from getting soggy? I don't think this type of tank has a drain though.. is a drain necessary?

tera bedding is a great substrate to use under the dirt or dentro bedding.
Check out blackjungle.com under substrate.

That exo terra tank will do great! You'll love it!

the tera will provide proper drainage, just never over water the plants, treat it like you would a house plant.

You'll have to post some photos when you get started

I plan to photograph the whole building process.
Is there a waiting period before I would be able to let my frogs into their new home?

Unfortuneitly I don't think I'll have a chance to buy anything before April... but I'm hoping sooner... it all depends on Income Tax money.

No you don't really have to wait, just get it all set up, correct any temps and/or humidity and set your frog in.

have fun with it.

Ok. I can't wait.
