so after weeks of contemplation, ive decided to order some australian white's tree frogs off of reptilecity.com. I have had experience with standard white's tree frogs in the past and was wondering if anyone had any pointers or things i should watch out for.
They should arrive next week and are said to be 1" in size, there are 4 of them in total. I have decided to opt for a simple enclosure with damp paper towel for bedding and a few fake plants for cover until they get a little bigger. At which point i will transfer them to a larger enclosure with live plants and bedding. So i was wondering:
1. What would be the ideal substrate? (thinking of using leftover plantation soil/coconut husk stuff)
2. I have kept many tree frogs, but have never gone with a semi-aquatic enclosure due to the risk of drowning. But i have heard that adult white's tree frogs strive in a semi-aquatic enclosure, should the permanent enclosure be semi-aquatic? or just have a water bowl as usual?
3. I recently purchased a small money tree (Pachira aquatica) and have it growing in a small pot...ideal size for my permanent enclosure. Is it safe to use in the enclosure?
