Looks awesome!!!!! I'd maybe add a few plants personally but not sure whether the frogs would need that or not.
we have been looking for some,no luck
 
you can get all sorts of silk plants at a craft store that work really well in terrariums and they are very cheap too. I agree though, it needs green. I bet your frog would feel much more comfortable hiding amongst the leaves than on an open branch or glass.
 
Nice frog but that habitat is unsuitable for him
whites like to have some substrate to hide in at times and the vines would be best if they were as wide as the frog is so he can feel comfortable climbing
and plants will make him 100% more secure, any walmart will have plants, live or fake. If you get live make sure you wash them off first


If you like to have the water, you can make it into a paludarium which is a vivarium with a water part.
you can do this by making a false bottom which will require some plastic egg crate and some pvc fittings of the same size and some screening
you can go on this forum and see how a lot of people do it http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/parts-construction/ or

first i HAVE been trying to find a substrate and i dont like eco earth it sticks to his skin and when i had a water bowl it got into it and yes as stated before i have been looking for a good plant and i am aware those vines are too small (im looking for bigger ones that arent still a little small and $20 dollars a pop)

Its fine if the substrate sticks to his skin. If you keep the humidity up and the substrate moist it won't be a problem with the frog being covered with dry substrate if thats what you are worried about. They are frogs, they don't need to be clean. Also...the ones i have cared for loved to hang out in the water dish, its not a bad thing.

them hanging out in the water dish is not a problem the substrate gets into the water and makes it brown

then you clean it lol

try putting eco earth down and then a layer of sphugnum moss, that won't stick to him for plants just go to walmart and you wil find all you need
