But if you don't have a false bottom, then your air can get kind of rank. The frogs themselves do fine on the small bit of air that gets in there when you open the top daily to dump fruit flies in.

Most people are concerned with ventilation only because it the high humidity fogs the glass, so they'll arrange a narrow open vent of some sort over the front glass and use something like a computer fan to blow across it. (There may be someone here with more information on this trick--I've never done it myself.) Otherwise, you do get enough for both frogs and plants to survive quite well, as PHflame points out. It's more visual aesthetics than a health issue.
