Advice Needed

I've decided to buy some new tree frogs, right now I have green tree frogs and fire-belly toads. I want a large tree frog, so I have been doing some research on White's Tree Frogs and White Lipped Tree Frogs. What is a good price for these tree frogs (I want to make sure I'm not paying too much). Which frog would you suggest for me? Are there any other tree frogs that are big but not too exspensive?

I have found that White's Tree Frogs require at least a 25 gallon tank... is this so? I am going to buy a terestrial tank but I just need to know what size I should order. One more question, about what should I have to pay for a 10 gallon/20 gallon/25 gallon terestrial tank
(plus the lid)?

If you could answer some or all of my questions your answers would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard nothing but good things about White's. They can get nice and big, fairly simple to care for and all that. And there are varying prices but all quite reasonable. Always beter to get them from a breeder rather than a pet store too.

If you are interested in really large tree frogs I have over 30 Cuban Tree Froglets that are ready for new homes and I'm only charging shipping.(LOL) They are very easy to care for, 1 adult requires a 20 gallon with lots of "up" space for climbing.

Hey, everything should go dandy as long as they all have their own, spacious, clean tanks. A White's does need a large tank and you should get at least a 20 high for one

Also, about prices, I get my 10-gallons for about $7 and a lid between $6-8, but that's because they're so common. A good price for a larger tank is $1 per gallon or a tiny bit higher. If you're paying $40 for a 20-gallon, you're getting ripped off. The lids for a 20 high should be the same as for a 10. With a bigger tank, the lids are a little more expensive, but not by much.

Hope I've helped, and good luck
