I've got 6 GTFs kept in an Exxo Terra Viv.
Before I can give an opinion...how are you keeping yours?
 
one in a 30cm,30cm, 45 cm tall exo-terra no substarat climbing branches a small log hide on the ground some green foliage and a water bowl that cover between 1/2 and 2/3 the enclosure

Any heat or misting?
 
I'm guessing you won't need heat living in NT & I'm gonna say that based on my experience, GTF's don't really need misting as mine generally sit & soak in the water when they feel the need.
As opposed to my Red Eyes who I do mist regularly as I've never really seen them "interested" in the water in their viv.
 
I have a GTF and just want to see everyones opinion on the best way to keep em

Its really important that they get UV either through having a UV terrarium light or being in a shade cloth enclosure. Glass filters UV light so even if your terrarium is in the sun your frogs wont get the UV light they need. Frogs need UV light to put calcium on their bones, the result is MBD. I found this out the hard way.

Also you cant take GTF from the wild in the NT without a permit (just so you know).
