My awesome terrarium

[Snakeorama]

i just recently made a terrarium out of a 29 gallon tank. it has many layers of soil, gravel, screen netting, and charcol(for a natural filteration system.) i have a lot of jungle plants like bromelieds, ferns, etc etc. and i also have a huge piece of wood the length of the terrarium and nearly the height. the frogs LOVE this. i currently have 1 american green frog and one whites treefrog..Both are babies andf they stay away from eachother.i just called the petstore and put another whites treefrog on hold, i was thinking mabye i could put some other stuff in...you guys have any ideas?

When those whites get a WEE bit bigger they may eat the little green frog. Also that charcol will be GREAT for awhile until all its little pores are plugged up. Then it starts releasing its nasties back into the soil....so unless you plan on digging all that stuff out every once in awhile I'd take it out.

ty for the advice...have you seen an adult green frog?...they get almost as big as bullfrogs.

'green frog' is a common name applied to quite a few frogs. Unless you give me a latin name or very good picture I can only guess.

I believe what he's referring to is Rana clamitans. Not sure, though.
