If I may offer a few suggestions....the branches are not stout enough to withstand the weight of a WTF, the water bowl needs to be wider and more shallow as opposed to small and deep - they like to lay in the bowl to soak and that isn't large enough for them to lay in stretched out and is too deep, the gravel needs to either be removed or covered with a screen and then several inches of a soil substrate or your asking for an impaction as they will eventually accidentally swallow some gravel when going after a cricket, and it also needs some background on 3 sides to give them the seclusion they need to feel secure, corkbark panels on the back walls for them to hide behind would also add a nice touch. Is it a hex? 40 is such a nice size tank - but there looks to be so little ground space - but pics can be decieving. I'll include a link to my website which covers WTF basic care and tank set up needs, has some pics, husbandry info, great froggie links, etc if you'd like to check it out. Hope this helps.
