Default green tree frog setup

would this be ok for a green tree frog (hyla cinerea) its 18"high X15"long X6" deep, the water bowl is about 6cm diameter and the basking spot gets to about 85F

yea but dont use a basking light as this dries the frog out heatmats are better for keeping frogs

16-BIT, Thats good to know. I have used lamps for mine. time for me to switch. Do they need a hot and cold side like other reps and amphs. I just got a packman frog and Im sure he would be more comfertable with a heat-matt.

its a nice set-up but a bit small for a frog. they are very hectic.

Looks nice, lots of spots to hide! cant see a water dish though? As for the lamps ive been advised away from them for amphibs too, so a change to mats would be good. Esp for the pacman as they wont move out of the way!!

as big as possible. i'd say a 2ftx2ftx12inches would be a nice size. they can jump quite a distance. the exo terra tanks are good too.
