Default Bumblebee Poison Arrow Frog - Arboreal or Terrestrial?

Hi RFUK!
If I were to get a Bumblebee Poison Arrow Frog (Dendrobates Leucomelas) would you suggest I put it in a tall tank with little floor space or a longer tank with more floor space than tree space?

Thanks!
Sandy

More floor space, although they do enjoy climbing as well but floorspace is more important than height for them, especially if you plan on keeping more than a sexed pair.

Wow! THanks for the fast reply!! Would a 60x45x45 (WxDxH) Terrarium suffice or do I need longer?

Thanks!!!
Sandy

one of the larger exoterras is more than adequate for two as for the height thing while terrestrial during the day they will climb to roost and if stressed so having some height won't hurt

You could get away with 45cm cube for a sexed pair. Just make sure you dont end up with 2 females otherwise they'll be fighting all the time.

Thats a relief to hear!! Thanks! They are really pricey for what they are...
Talking of pricey, does anyone have any opinions on the Zoo Med Naturalistic Terrarium Range?

I have 2 45x45x60 Zoo meds and I quite like them. I like the single door rather than the exo double door

Here is a pic of my bank with them in they are on the right at the top
