Is 12x12x18 good for a whites tree frog?
Re: Exo Terra 12x12x18 OK for a Single White’s Tree Frog? I would definitely go for the larger enclosure. Your white’s will thank you for it. The 12x12x18 is only about 11 gallons and therefore not much of an upgrade.
How big is a full grown white tree frog?
5 inches
Adults can reach up to 5 inches, but most females top out at 4-4.5 inches in snout-to-vent length. Males are usually slightly smaller but size alone is not a good criterion for sexing these animals. Captive bred specimens are usually less than 2 inches long when sold.
What do whites tree frogs need in their enclosure?
Plants need lighting to grow and thrive. Your frogs do not require light, and unlike reptiles they don’t have a need for UVB light. Fluorescent plant lights are ideal; I also like to use the aquarium lights sold for freshwater fish tanks. These provide a pleasant daylight color, and plants love them.

Do Tree Frogs need light at night?
Tree frogs are nocturnal. They don’t require sunlight, but they do need lighting that mimics a day and night cycle in their habitat. If they’re in a dim room, light the terrarium for 12 hours daily with a fluorescent bulb. If necessary, use a heat bulb or a night-specific heat lamp for warmth.

What snakes can live in a 12x12x18?
A tank that small is more appropriate for a scorpion or tarantula. Smaller geckos would do well (bibron, flying gecko, day gecko, etc.). Or a small arboreal snake. Rough Green Snakes are beautiful and could fit in there.
How much does a white tree frog weigh?
The female weighed a whopping 86 grammes (might need to re-weigh this in case the scales were out) – I am concerned she’s too pudgy (or simply carrying eggs); whereas the male weighs 36 grammes. I’m concerned he’s too light. How do you tell if a White’s is underweight?
How often should I Feed my white’s tree frog?
The amount of food your frog needs will vary somewhat, but keep in mind that White’s tree frogs tend toward having obesity issues, so do not overfeed.

How big of an enclosure do I need for white tree frog?
Mist the enclosure daily and provide a sizable, but shallow, water dish. Between mistings the substrate should remain damp, but not water logged. This quiet frog does not require much space. One to four frogs can thrive in a 20-gallon (75-L) terrarium. A woodland terrarium is ideal, but White’s tree frogs also do well with a simple set up.
Why is my tree frog losing so much weight?
If your frog is losing weight, it could be that your frog is just naturally thin or that it needs to be fed more. You will need a digital scale to weigh your tree frog. Set a container with a lid on it on your scale and zero it out. Then put the frog in the container and read the screen.
How many white’s tree frogs are in my tank?
(- Currently my large terrarium is being shared by 1 female and 1 male White’s and two smaller Gillens Tree Frogs. I intend to get another tank for the Gillens, but they’re very active and accustomed to the large tank. The only tank I could possibly afford is much too small.-)
What kind of skin does a white tree frog have?
Its skin has a waxy coating that allows it to tolerate more arid conditions than its fellow tree frog breeds. White’s tree frogs are quite sedentary and docile and can become fairly tame and tolerate handling. Remember, however, that amphibians have very sensitive skin that absorbs chemicals easily, so extreme care is needed when handling.
