I just got a white's tree frog....what do I put him in??? What temperature should i have him at???

Can he eat anything other than crickets??? Can I house him with other species of frogs???

Does he like to be misted???

You should have done a bit of research before getting the frog.

An adult Whites requires AT LEAST a 20 gallon tank (bigger is always better) with lots of "up" space. Day temps around 80*. evening temps can be as low as I believe 73*. A Bed-A-Beast substrate, lots of climbing limbs and plants for him to hide in. (Pothos work great in the way of plants) Make sure that all branches are clean and that all plants are free of fertalizer and potting soil. (As this can cause illness to your frog via skin absorbtion, a water dish deep enough for him to soak in. Frech. clean, treated water every day to every other day. Humidity levels should be around 40-60%. Mist the tank once or twice a day.

White's will eat things other than crickets. But the crickets should be the staple of his diet. You can add mealworms, earth worms, flies, moths... basically any soft bodies insect. Just be sure if you catch them yourself, that they come from a pestasite free location.

There are many White's owners on this forum so others will offer their care advice soon enough.

And do not house him with other species of frogs.

Oh yeah, forgot that part. White's get pretty big so you don't even want to house them with their own species if they aren't close to the same size. But definitely not with other species
