green tree frog information

[reptilegirl_jordan]

Im getting two gtf's in a week.Years ago i had one but im just asking for information on what people use and find best.
* so for flooring i find fake grass great..anyone used the fine repti bark or peat moss? anything you find good?

* Size of the cage was another one i was thinking of but im useing a 3 foot fish tank for 2 so that should be enough room.what kind of sizes do you use?

* Finally water,ill be using a big water bowl and it will be changed daily,does anyone use pumps? ect.
Anything else you would love to add pics or info would be nice.
cheers

Gday Jordan.

I keep 2 in a 3 footer, so the size f the enclosure is fine.

As for the flooring, i used to use exoterra tropical plantation soil (plants love it) topped with the reptibark. I just changed the bark to washed river pebble as i felt it looked better.

For the water, i had a bowl, but i got sick of changing it every day, so i partitioned off 1/3 of the floor for a pond @ 10cm deep. I run a small aquarium filter, and change water once a week.

Hi
i have 6 green tree frogs, that are nearly 2 years old.
I keep them in an enclosure 2 foot wide by 1 foot deep by 2 foot high.
i have a plastic surface about half the enclosure wide, the rest is river stones with 3 inches of water, with a waterfall.
I'll upload some photos as soon as i can.

This is my tank.
It has an aquarium heater in the water, a heat mat at the back towards one end and an overhead filter which comes out on top of the log forming a bit of a waterfall.

gtf are the bomb diggity

i use a high water enclosure so its 18L"x18w"x24h" with bottom full of water i'll put some piccies up in this thread tonight when i get home i like to use lots of water cuz it really keeps the humidity high wich they love and its easy as to induce breeding and keep them warm it also allows for a more creative enclosure with...... FISH IN THE BOTTOM.

I use aquarium gravel as a sustrate.... i really should put more in there
