    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey there...

I have several questions about the Red Eye Tree Frogs. I've been doing my researches online about them. But I seem to be more confused about their habitat set up and all.

What is a good habitat set up for the Red Eye Tree Frogs? How many gallons tank is ideal? I've seen that they like tall Arboreal tank, then I've seen they like 30 gallon tank...and what kind of substrates will they require?

I've also read that they do better in community. By community, I've seen anywhere from 3 red eye frogs to 5 or more together to thrive. Is this true? Will it be OK if I bought one? Or even two?

I've been wanting to buy one, but I need to know more about them before I do. Right now I have a green tree frog set up in 10 gallon tank with bark and moss as substrates. I also have leaf vines and branches. The frog is doing very well and eating crickets without any problems. I truly enjoy this frog and want to broaden my frog collections.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
from what ive heard sometimes they refuse crickets, and will take in flies and moths as a staple diet. also a moss substrat should be fine. also have a bowl of water in there big enough for ihm to soak, and mist them. well also they are active when in groups. but if you get a group going, it can and most likely will leed to eggs in no time. as long at the heat and humidy is currect. then you have LOTS of frogs running around. ive seen people buy just one and its been fine its whole life. so buying one wont hurt, but if you get groups you can see mateing behavier most likely. i would jsut watch for imports. look for CB. most CB's will eat crickets, most WC eat alot fo flies and moths.
 
red eye setup

hi there, i currently have a red eye setup that is 90 gallons and its kind of a cubeish tank...now it really depends on what u want whether or not u want a simple setup that will be easily cleaned or one that is self maintaining. My setup has a water resevoir in the middle that i separated with 5 inch high plexiglass and sealed it from the substrate using silicone sealant. it looks very natural and has several plants growing in coconut bark on each side of the water resevoir. that back wall is covered with flat stone and is accented by a waterfall that shoots out of a hollow log i collected from the woods behind my house. I have approximatley 8 red eye tree frogs, all adults, and several have been laying eggs and dropping them from the leaves of the plants above the water. It has been a difficulty keeping these tadpole alive or even froglets however a few are in the tank now and they are now large enough that the others do not try and eat them. The biggest piece of advice i can give you is either keep the vivarium simple and clean such as a damp paper towell at the bottom a water dish that can be changed daily and maybe a plant but thats it....or you can go all out and set up a self maintaining system where the Nitrogen cycle will take care of the frog waste with live plants that will clean up the soil of its organics. Going all out is much more beautiful and the challenge is half the fun.
