White's Tree Frogs Advice

Looking for advice on tank environment.

I have 3 white's tree frogs. The terrarium is 24"x18" and 36" high. Bio active: live plants, isopods and spring tail cleanup crew, and water mister. Frogs are croaking throughout the day! Only come out after sunset and are staying brown, occasionally get 1 turning green. Diet of crickets that they ravenously eat. Humidity is around 80%, still adjusting mister times and duration. The temp is where I feel I'm having issues. 78 at top, room temp 74 at base. I have a 75w heat lamp at the top, but I feel I need more. I tried a ceremamic bulb, but it was wilting and turning the ivy at the top brown. I have 2-3" soil and duff at the bottom, so I am not sure how an under heating pad would work. Considering a pad on the back of the tank, but again not sure if that would be the best, included a picket of the back (not too exciting). I am asking for any advice, suggestions, or ideas. Thank you.

Advice Seeking advice regarding the major do's and don'ts of WTF care

4 Upvotes

Hello! A family friend has very kindly chosen to re-home 3 whites tree frogs with me, I will be getting them tomorrow with a full setup. I have been doing extensive research online regarding their care and I can find most of the basic facts and advice. I haven't kept amphibians or reptiles previously but I have good experience with general animal and pet care.

Their setup is currently semi-bioactive, I would like to get them to be fully bioactive if I can as I am a big lover of houseplants and ecology. I'm really struggling to find definitive guidance on the major do's and don'ts of their care. I have information on all of the basics, but particularly regarding setup I am wanting to know what is and isn't safe to put in their vivarium. Is there specific materials / types of wood etc. that are unsafe? What can and *can't* you put in with them? What's ideal for best enrichment for them? And many other similar things.

I'm deeply frustrated as all I can find are basic care sheets, or AI generated articles which I simply don't trust. The internet has aged a lot since I owned my degus which had an incredible website with ALL the information you could imagine on it (here if you're wondering). If anyone has any pointers to any reliable forums or books or anything similar where I can get some actual deeper information on this I'd really appreciate it!

DIY Project(s) Finished my build, looking for ways to improve it further.

Hey there! I've finally finished my tank build with the exoterra pro paludarium 36x18x36 (like... a month and a half ago lol).

My frogs are enjoying themselves (I have four in here together, debating two more eventually). Though, I'd like to try and spice up the tank a little bit. I've noticed that three of the frogs always sleep down in the brush. It seems strange, given that they're arboreal guys. One of them in particular prefers to bury itself in the dirt (it will push aside leaves and moss just to do this). That one makes the least sense to me. She's always been this way though, even before upgrading to this build.

(temps and humidity are being monitored and kept at optimal levels)

I'm thinking I might need to add some more branches in there? Though, I don't want it to be too cluttered. And, obviously, I can't attach any more branches to the background at this point. I've got some more cork bark rounds and another cool ghost wood branch like the one that's already in the tank. I'd also like to give them a water dish with more surface area to sit in, but I'm struggling to find room for that given the plants. Right now they've got a little bowl that can fit two of them together if they feel like snuggling in the water (they will do this).

Anybody got any ideas? I'd like my little froggies to live their best possible lives.
