I dont have any personal experience with R. prominanus, but if they are anything like R. reinwardtii they will need a large and tall enclosure, in the wild Rhacophorus are highly arboreal, and in my experiance very "jumpy" in captivity. They are a medium sized species which when combined with there agile nature requires dense yet sturdy foliage. I try to maintain them at a neutral 75*F - 75%rh. My experiences with the genus has been very enjoyable, i have found them to be relatively hardy and beautiful frogs. let me know if you get any and how it goes!
