This is the "I did a bad thing and spur of the moment bought a tree frog" setup video. And honestly, needed content for a lot of people hope it gets more traction.
Many years ago, I kept anoles in a 75 gallon aquarium with a waterfall and lake that took about 1/3 of the enclosure. The waterfall was in the back corner and made of red lava rock. I cut a piece of Plexiglas to size and glued it in to create the lake. And I didn't make it straight up and down, but at an angle so if a lizard got stuck in the water, it wouldn't have any problem getting out. I sealed that up really well, and made a forest in the rest of the aquarium which eventually became quite lush and overgrown. It was beautiful! And anoles - I love those little brown guys (I didn't have the greens). I remember once, I tossed a fly into the enclosure. One of my females immediately went after it with gusto. One huge flying leap, a spectacular fail, and SPLASH!, right in the middle of the lake. A quick scramble up the waterfall (which eventually completely coated itself with algae and moss), and another flying leap into the undergrowth. She did eventually catch the fly, but watching was hilarious.
Yes Adam America is a special place... I know we should measure air temperature in Calculus, because it makes more sense. I'm not in charge of that rule. So a good way to keep enclosure humidity up is through a misting system, or a spray bottle. I learned this trick from a guy who keeps moisture dependent Tarantula species. He burns holes in a juice container cap with a soldering iron. Next he fills the juice container with water. Then he waters the entire enclosure with the water from the juice bottle. He calls it the "make it rain method."
I am actually looking st getting one soon.. I habe been building a big glass enclosure for my new ones with some nice plants .. just trying a lot of time before I can add some lol
Adam, I've been watching your vids for a bit now. I'm into contained ecosystems, planted aquariums, and house plants but slowly I'm trying to combine them all and make bioactive setups for amphibians and reptiles. I love red eye tree frogs and I have an empty enclosure that will eventually contain them. I love your vids and this is great inspiration to get working on it.
You may have a video I can't find, but I'm wanting to learn more about keeping the isopods up in my chameleon set up... I've never seen them. 40 dairy cows.... maybe the Cham is snacking on them? Considering trying white dwarves
Thank you for the amphibian content as well as the enclosure build! It will be nice to reference in the future. Also, I do not have a favorite frog, they are all great!
Those are one of my fav animals ever, gotta red eye climbing on my ankle 😍 love the more simplified build, I’m not so intimidated at building my own now. I wanna see your new critters!!!
Picked up my first red eyed yesterday and I did the exact same thing. It’s nice to have a cool looking background but also once this grows in I won’t see it so no point wasting time on that 🤣
Perfect time for this. I have an 18 x 18 x 36 exo terra, I think it was the rainforest one. I got it from a friend and I want to set up a colony of frogs and possibly mix in something else.
I'd love to build something like this for a bunch of multicolored dart frogs. The red eyed tree frog was my favorite when I was a kid, now I can't pick a favorite. Great video! 👍
IV made a 75 gal paladarium for mine it's been a year they always call and mount each other ... I have 6 .3 males and 3 females . But no babies any thoughts on what I can be doing wrong. I set it to rain for 3- hours at night and during the day with dry cycle as well
Great Video like always great build red eyed tree frogs are awesome I can't wait see your video at the reptarium such a great place I wish I could go there lol bit of a problem when your oversea!
i would like to ask you something so do you have to have a background or a full ground of substrate or can you split the ground up like have half full of water and half full of substrate and no background?
I have all those supplies!! I just don't have red-eyed frogs. Being that my grandparents came from Quebec, guess when I'm really tired, I'm a red-eyed frog, but I don't have an enclosure big enough for myself. Did you know ZEd and Emily from SD were in Michigan to pick up a Caiman lizard? Maybe the local famous reptile zoo was booked that day, but there must be a lot of people like me to pay attention to this stuff and wonder Oh well guess I've caused enough trouble with this comment. I'd jump at the opportunity to visit a reptile zoo, but being from Massachusetts, I can only visit NERD, which is pretty cool. Did you jow Kevin from NERD is very nice in person? Or maybe I just catch him on the right days. I might be lucky,,, He that's right I am Lucky! SOmetimes I forget. Remember every comment is engagement, even the silly ones.
What is your favorite frog?
My favourite is red eyes but I habe a soft spot for dark frogs tok.. I am just looking at soem rare cherry white tree frogs stm
easy amazon milk frog or black eyed frog
Definitely the African bullfrog. After seeing that video where it saves it's babys, amazing
Probably a pac man frog. I love how chubby they are. I have mostly crested geckos on my channel though!
My favorite are grey tree frogs....but that's mainly because they're native to where I live in iowa
Please do the care guide. I love these animals and there isn't any info from people I actually trust in the hobby. Keep up the fantastic work baldy
That last part was so unnecessary lmao
@@ozzy3684 I am also bald. Problem?
I’ve had mine for about 3 years. They’re a lot easier and robust than people make them out to be
he didnt make it cuz you called him badly :(
You called him baldy heez not bald he has a moustache

I like this video as it helps me not over think and over stress when I set up my enclosure. You just simply things which is nice!
Nice to see Troy Goldberg getting a mention. Makes some of the most incredible vivarium scapes :)
I totallyu agree
Could you spray them and not have a misting system?
if you are very vigilant
Nice. I got myself a red eye a couple months ago. Already making plans to buy a larger tank and get 3 more.
Nice 👍
Pls do red eyed tree frog care guide
Awesome video. Care guide please.
Coming soon!
Yes please do a full care guide! I’ve been wanting to get red eyes for awhile but want to have as much info as possible before I get them !
Alocasia polly /Alocasia Amazonica 🙂 great content!
Rainforest cafe made me love this frog
Looks awesome! Can't wait to see the plants established and grown more. 😍
Me too!!
Adam you should do more videos on Amazon milk frogs
I'd love to. I wish people watched the amphibian content more
@@WickensWickedReptiles yea im a big amphibian guy and its sooo sad that people dont watch them as much

🐸❤️❤️❤️ cannot get enough of frog content. This was a great build. The upgrade I am doing for mine will have the full bottom of water.
R u getting red eyes ? See I am thinking king about adding a waterfall to my one 🤔
It is always great to see when someone listens to his audience. Good stuff
Do you have any videos on how to set up the heating system for our tanks
yep!
@@WickensWickedReptiles do you have the UA-cam link ? Can’t find it on your channel
They are so beautiful! I just got a pair of red eyed tree frogs yesterday and I can't get enough of them
I newly obtained two red eyed tree frogs Poli & Wrath!! Pokemon inspired :) I am absolutely hoping to see that care guide pretty please!!
I am actually looking st getting one soon.. I habe been building a big glass enclosure for my new ones with some nice plants .. just trying a lot of time before I can add some lol
Go for it!

Hi, great info, can you use airplants in vivariums for these frogs?
Cheers,
Jeff
Yes, absolutely
Thank you for all your great contributions to the hobby! love your vids :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Red eyed tree frogs are so cute! 🐸
So happy for you Adam! Hope your RETFs turn out happy and maybe even mate!
Love, Reptiles of Lustria
Thanks so much!

I think I need some frogs in my life. Would love a care guide! Thanks for the awesome content!
You got it!

I wanna see your new critters!!!
Thanks for breaking it down a little for beginners! Great video! I have an extra tank I'm thinking of getting a new critter for
I LOVE the moss idea
Such gorgeous frogs! Nice and simple enclosure, love it!!
Thank you! 😊
what do the eat and how often do they eat
insects every other day
Now I want to get some red eyed tree frogs
Thanks
hahaha they are awesome!
Picked up my first red eyed yesterday and I did the exact same thing. It’s nice to have a cool looking background but also once this grows in I won’t see it so no point wasting time on that 🤣
Hell yeah, I got a 36x18x18 vivarium with a waterfall that I have 2 in rn, I plan on adding 3 more within the coming months:)
I love it wickens wicked reptile have a absolutely wonderful day great work wickens wicked reptile
Perfect time for this. I have an 18 x 18 x 36 exo terra, I think it was the rainforest one. I got it from a friend and I want to set up a colony of frogs and possibly mix in something else.
Just set up an enclosure cuz I plan to get one in the next couple weeks. Glad to see I didn't screw it up. 😂
Great video dude. Happy to see these different type of videos, makes this channel just that much better.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for the basics. Confirmed for me I set up my bioactive alright last night.
Love the build got a 45 by 45 . 90 gives me some ideas thank you.
I’m planning one getting some red eyed tree frogs I already built a bioactive tank with a waterfall and a MistKing setup
Would you do a video on how you set up your misting system?
Probably not. It’s get no traction and there are already so many out there explaining it better than I could.
I love it. I can't wait to get mine set up.
looking forward to hearing about it!
I'd love to build something like this for a bunch of multicolored dart frogs. The red eyed tree frog was my favorite when I was a kid, now I can't pick a favorite.
Great video! 👍
Sounds great!
Nice timing i was just looking into possibly getting some in the future. (I'll need to wait out the lifespan of my sceloporus malachiticus though.)
How would you heat this enclosure if it was too cool using just room temperature?
a halogen light
Would love to see a care guide for these 😁
Can you do a redfooted tortoise setup/care guide!!
going to be sad if this video doesn't do well. really liked your past frog videos and hope to see more.
it's already bombing haha. oh well, these frogs need more love!
Yes please on the care guide! These are on my bucket list to keep, they are stunning!
Frogs are my fave! Love the vid :) much love and many blessings
i really love your frogs, somthing i have wanted to keep in the past they are so beautifull
I want to get a group of red eye tree frogs. Do you think you could do a care guide video and/or a cohabitation video?? Just gave ya 2 ideas free😌
coming soon!
This video is perfectly timed because I’m getting some next week. Amazing job yet again
We love frogs!
Could you do a new boa constrictor care guide
Would love to see you do more builds
working on one now!
can we please get a red eye tree frog care guide?? i want to create a beautiful vivarium for a pair as soon as i get my own place :))
Looks amazing cant wait for the video with Brian
IV made a 75 gal paladarium for mine it's been a year they always call and mount each other ... I have 6 .3 males and 3 females . But no babies any thoughts on what I can be doing wrong. I set it to rain for 3- hours at night and during the day with dry cycle as well

great idea
Great Video like always great build red eyed tree frogs are awesome I can't wait see your video at the reptarium such a great place I wish I could go there lol bit of a problem when your oversea!
Coming soon!
They live in eastern Australia too were they first originated from I see them all the time
Oh my god. Wwr got a red eyed tree frog that my favorite frog, no amphibian
same!
Hi, as a owner of a beardie idk how to care of a red eye frog so if u got any tips on humidity and misting it would be great
Omg yay! I live for your enclosure build vids 😍😍😍😍
Yay! Thank you!
But is the sphagnum moss organic? 🧐
yeah
i would like to ask you something so do you have to have a background or a full ground of substrate or can you split the ground up like have half full of water and half full of substrate and no background?
Just caught your video with barczyk totally awesome to see you doing videos with other reptile lovers. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh my god I have been waiting for this for so so so so long
How do you input and clean the live plants monthly?
Love the enclosure and the frogs are awesome!! I saw you recently on Brian's stream, can't wait to see the video!!!
looks beautiful man
Can the soil mixture be used for a Pacman frog too?
Loved the video, excited to check out your other content!
This is so great,I love it
FINALLY
Those frogs look absolutely stunning what happens if I touch my mouth after a red eyed tree frog or a dart frog rehousing?
nothing
Will this be appropriate for glass frogs?
Full red eyed tree frog care guide please👀👀
ok!
Can you use pool noodles for the enclosure for frogs to perch on?
So basically uvb is good enough no need for heat lamp, uvb itself gets warm enough already? Im planning to get tk 2 red eye frogs also,
What do I do if I’m not planning on using live plants
same thing, but the humidity will need more care
Love all of your content so much 😌
thank you!
I have been waiting for one of these vids!
I have all those supplies!! I just don't have red-eyed frogs. Being that my grandparents came from Quebec, guess when I'm really tired, I'm a red-eyed frog, but I don't have an enclosure big enough for myself. Did you know ZEd and Emily from SD were in Michigan to pick up a Caiman lizard? Maybe the local famous reptile zoo was booked that day, but there must be a lot of people like me to pay attention to this stuff and wonder Oh well guess I've caused enough trouble with this comment.
I'd jump at the opportunity to visit a reptile zoo, but being from Massachusetts, I can only visit NERD, which is pretty cool. Did you jow Kevin from NERD is very nice in person? Or maybe I just catch him on the right days. I might be lucky,,, He that's right I am Lucky! SOmetimes I forget. Remember every comment is engagement, even the silly ones.
Would really like a care guide with this also!
coming soon!
Golden content man! Keep up the great work! Inspiring!
I love how amazing thisvideo was
How do you feel about lava rock as a drainage layer?
I found this in a playlist but it’s not on my main feed....I’m ok with getting a video early
What do they go for nowadays?
It Seems Perfect for them!!!
Love the set up and want to see the care guide
In your video you uses UVB lighting for the frog, do you also use a plant light ?
nope
Any info on where to buy them? I only know a couple stores and they are sold out for a while now
Very informative, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@@WickensWickedReptiles do you think red eye tree frogs and dart frogs would work together?
