GREEN TREE FROG
Habitat:
Green tree frogs can be housed in a large, unheated vivarium, out of direct sunlight.
You may also want to get them a flourescent tube for localized heat which apparently they like to hang out on for hours. The temperature should generally be maintained between 20 and 25�C (68-77�F) during the summer, and a bit cooler in the winter.
This species seems to do really well in captivity provided they didnt get too jolted in shipping. Apparently these guys often arrive in pet stores in such bad shape that even the most tender loving care won't save them. However, if you got one in good shape, they are really pretty hardy creatures.

WHITE'S TREE FROG
Habitat:
This is a very hardy creature and is really good for beginners, though some pet owners complain that they are sometimes not sufficiently active. (This most likely, however, is a result of overfeeding.)

It requires a really big and tall terrarium (recommended size is 25 gallon!!) with a lot of plants and hollow branches. There are two choices in tanks for the White's Tree Frog; the arboreal tank, or the terrestrial tank. The arboreal tank is the best choice because tree frogs spend most of their time high in the branches in their tank. The arboreal tank is normally two feet high; hexagon or pentagon shaped, and has a small base area. The terrestrial tank, however, is much shorter, and has a large base area.

Humidity should be moderate (Spraying the tank every now and then with a spray bottle- make sure to dechlorinate the water and allow it to get a bit stale etc.) Good ventialation is a must! (see the Frog Doctor for details on illness prevention.)
Temperatures should be up to 86�F (30�C), but reduced to 68�F (20�C) at night.

The substrate you use in the bottom of your cage is very important. I've heard that Pine bark is the best choice. (Don't buy the fancy reptile bark you see in the store. It's too dusty, and the chips are dangerously small. White's often pick up a piece of bark when they're eating. If the bark is too small, they could accidentally swallow it and then die of indigestion. NEVER use cedar or pine shavings, gravel, or sand in your tank. The frogs can accidentally swallow some of these items and die.)

The water dish in your tank is another big issue. A dish that is six to eight inches long and wide, and four to five inches deep is perfect. White's like to spread out in the water and relax. As your frogs grow you'll have to get a bigger water dish.

Red-Eyed Tree Frog
Habitat
These frogs live in a neotropical environment. They prefer the lowland rainforest areas close to rivers and the adjacent hills.

Spotted Tree Frog
Habitat
The Spotted Tree Frog is found in swift-flowing upland streams in mountainous areas. The areas are usually very steep, always rocky and can range from dense, moist forest at higher altitudes to very little cover at the lower altitudes.

It depends on the type of tree frog. Pick a type of tree frog first and then you can do an internet search on its habitat. The ones around here (NJ) prefer trees near a year-round water source but the type of water (pond, swamp, stream, river) and kind of terrain depends on the species of frog. Some of the South-American species live in plants that hold small pools of water, in tree tops, at the base of trees, or on plants hanging over water. In Asian countries there are species that prefer to live on bamboo. These sites offer tree frogs for sale or give information on them. Check out the frog names, do an internet search on the one you want to do a diarama about, and learn what type of habitat it lives in. Good luck. http://www.exotic-pets.co.uk/products.php?cat=9 http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/herps/amphibid/anura_s.htm

set up a tropical terrarium- various flowers. Use cypress mulch as a substrate. upload a competent-sized water dish, and an get away data lid, ideally one that holds interior the humidity.
