Whites tree frogs ( if properly cared for ) get huge. They need bigger than a 10 gal.

For 2 I would try a 29 gal with plenty of live plants and plenty of driftwood for climbing. A simple false bottom for drainage followed by cocofiber/ leat litter. I try to avoid spag moss with them as they are gluttons when they eat and will swallow anything.

They need a large bowl of clean water for soaking along with spraying the cage daily. YOu will need a screen lid for the top of the tank as well.

Whites do make a great frog as they can handle a wee bit of handle but should still be a mainly hands off frog. They only downside is they are nocturnal and dont really do a whole lot during the day.

Any questions you have please let me know. I am happy to help

i meant to say 10 gal for a juvenile, an adult male gets about 3in females 5in a fifteen gal will be plenty for an average male (may need larger depending on size)

You should look in to gray tree frog's

Id pay more for a nicer tree frog, one of these. They are more appealing than the grays and whites that sit on the glass all day.

Dont get red-eyes if their your first frog,whites are much easier.Alternatively,Brazilian Milk Frogs are also excellent pets.One thing a lot of books and care-sheets dont mention is UV lighting,personally i wouldnt keep any tree frog without it,and certainly not whites or milks.
