This is an old pic of a Perons in my backyard, sorry about the quality

Im in the process of building my tank. Working on the background for the moment. Waiting on a few items so I can get my hands dirty

Few questions, has anyone transported GT frogs far? Could they survive a 3 hour car trip?

Easily, just make sure they dont overheat and have moisture

 

[BigWillieStyles]

thanks. I might look at getting some from Melbourne and drive them back here once I can get the enclosure up and going.

Lovely setups anyone ! what would good dimensions for 2 adult Green trees be ? And would an exo terra be alright ?

some of my guys and set ups

I think a 2ft tall by 1ft aquarium should be sufficient. Provided there are lots of climbing for them to do. The Exo terra ones would be great IMO. They sell a decent priced 45by60cm tank which would do the trick nicely.

Anyone have some exo terra vines they want to part with?

 

[Mighty_Moose]

Haha, I have one that I'm planning to use That sounds awesome I think i can get an exo terra for around the 100-200 range If I bought 2 GTF and they both were male would they fight ?

I've had a couple of GTFs since 2007 - we used to keep them in a 2' x 2' x 1.5' terrarium, and last Summer they got abrasion marks from trying to escape so much.

It was suggested to me by the good folks over at frogs.org.au that my enclosure was too small, and I needed to get something bigger. We chose to let them live in our (frogproof) bathroom instead, and the marks went away after a month or so. They are still doing well, and make shower time much more interesting

GTFs grow a fair bit bigger than some species and are very active, I'd recommend going much bigger than a 2ft tank. We were looking at getting an acrylic box made 3' wide by 2' deep by 6' tall before we thought of the bathroom.

heres a photo of the abrasion

Photos of your bathroom... PLEASE!!!

 

[Mighty_Moose]

Hmm, What size enclosure does everyone else recommend ?

p.s Is the care for a GTF similar to a Magnificent GTF ??

 

[shona]

frogs.org.au recommends at least a 3' tank, but height is important for tree frogs. Once you've seen an adult GTF hop around it makes sense that these 1/2/3' short terrariums are too small.

some more pics



the terrarium in the first pic has it's glass door off permanently so they can come and go

the 3rd pic was before we moved them to the bathroom

 

[Mighty_Moose]

What brand enclosure is that ?? and what are the dimensions ?

 

[shona]

It's from reptilesinc.com.au, 60cm wide x 45 deep x 60 high. And like I mentioned, I've found it too small for adult GTFs

It also has a pump in the back and waterfall. It worked great for the GTFs when they were young, so it's probably fine for species who dont grow as big as GTFs

 

[Mighty_Moose]

Bump Would love to see some more pics of perhaps some more different tree frogs

 

[sandswimmer]

the 45x60x60 cm exo terra is fine for a pair of adult green trees....and two males will not fight.

 

[anntay]

some great setups and frogs. what are the temps for keeping frogs?? and is there anyone in brisbane that is selling any in the near future?
