eastern grey frog... help on habitat...

[LadyKaotix]

ok so last night, after spray painting my new leo foam background, we found a tree frog on the side of our sliding glass door. brought him in and looked him up. its a cute tiny baby eastern grey treefrog. my daughter asked if she could keep it, i said sure. right now hes in a 5 gallon tank, with some Green Spagnum Moss, a coconut shell, a plastic dish of water, and some branches.

i read online that the ideal habitat would be half water half land. how do i do this in a tank? i dont mind buying a bigger set up.

also, is it possible to have more then one species of tree frog living in the same enviornment as long as they are the same sizes?

The easiest way would be to silicone a glass divider in place, or you could go for a more complex system with a false bottom if you want to incorporate something like a stream or a waterfall. If you really want to keep it simple just use a large water dish. What do you plan to use as a permanent home? I suggest a 20 gallon aquarium or equivalent as the minimum size. Mixing species is generally a bad idea, it is much easier to tailor the environment to the needs of one species rather than two or more, especially in a small tank.

i really like the idea of a water fall n fogger. i dont know how it should be done tho. i would like some live plants in there also. im good at diy's but i really need a step by step, with actual brand names of pet safe products. i wouldnt mind going 40 tall. i would really like something similar to Exo Terra Glass Terrarium set ups. would be easier to care for them with a front opening tank
