I'd love to see your photos of tree frogs, terrarium set ups, and how you feed your tree frogs.


Please keep this thread going, will post some pics tonight

No updated photos (still need to go out and get batteries for camera.. sigh) so these are old pics from when the paludarium was finished being set up. The frogs sleep all day anyway so they just look like green blobs on leaves right now. The plants are getting HUGE now, some already growing to the top of the 55 gallon, but I need some for the side with an increased amount of waterflow all the time since the others died on that section. Guess it's time to order more plants, lol. I love blackjungle.com and they definitely have what I need!

pouchedrat, that's almost miraculous how you can use grape wood in a red-eyed treefrog's enclosure! I can't prevent that stuff from molding in even mildly humid terrariums! LOL

Walked 5 miles into a park alone, it was just me and the Canyon Treefrog(H. arenicolor) at the end, not a sound, it was awesome. Canyon treefrogs are not very leery, sometimes you can just pick them up and put them back down and they just sit there.

isopods *whistles*

I am crazy with them..... plus like i said that was when the thing was finished being set up, but it's still non-moldy and I am sure it's because of the isopods. They really don't bother the tree frogs at all. Also, it's a paludarium, so there's a constant flow of water everywhere. Like i said I'll try to get updated pics when I get out of the house. damn pregnancy....... sigh...

I've been keeping these vines from outside the house in my terrarium and there is no problem with any of the plants in there dying. Infact, they keep growing! I was really quite happy with it.

Does anyone have a dumpy tree frog they'd want to trade for Green or Grey tree frogs?
(idk if this is allowed)

Gorgeous frog! How big do these guys get? They seem like Spring peeper size.

Well there's sections in the paludarium that are swamp-like, some are just moist, and others completely submerged in water. I'm considering getting some mondo grass and some nice marginal plants for the swampy areas.

They are the same size as a Gray Treefrog, pretty big:drool:.
I want one :(
I would love something to liven up the terrarium and something that sings often. The grey tree frog always croaks when I play dubstep or techno. lol!
