Is 18" a tall enough tank?

biomajir Jun 10, 2006 12:40 PM

I have two Gray Treefrogs and want to purchase one of those Exo-Terra terrariums. The one that is within my price range has a height of 18 inches, is this tall enough for the frogs? Thankyou for your help.

yes 18" is enough for two grey treefrogs, but i would not add any other frogs, the tanks by exo-terra are not designed to house more than two or three adult treefrogs over 1" and make sure you plant plenty of broad leafed, sturdy plants (live or silk) to climb and hide on.

How do you like those tanks ? I was looking at them but seemed for treefrogs a regular 20 gallon or 3o gallon extra high is better made and cheaper.

i don't use those tanks myself, not that i don't like them, but they are costly and i have no problem with plain old glass tanks. if i were to spend the extra cash on a tank, i would but a reptile tank from oceanic, they have built in vents and are heavy duty as well as attractive. i have my species of treefrogs in a 30 gal. high and 35 gal hexagon tank. i have seen many dart frog and treefrog breeders use the exo tera tanks and they swear by them. hope this helps
