Moreover, if several frogs are kept together in a confined space, there may be competition for desirable spots, leading to unnecessary stress. The general rule of thumb holds that one frog per 10 gallons of tank space is a good maximum density. Glass aquaria are suitable enclosures for White's. However, the snap-on screen tops that are often used on aquaria are not always secure, and may afford a determined frog the opportunity to escape. A sliding, locking lid is ideal.
Ventilation is another concern.
A piece of glass or other solid object that can be used to partially cover a screen top, and slid on or off as necessary, can be very useful in this regard. White's are climbers and appreciate sturdy plants and vertical shelters. Experienced reptile keepers, accustomed to the high temperatures their other charges require, often make the mistake of keeping amphibians too warm. Studies have shown that White's are exceptionally successful at storing water, even at high temperatures. The light-cycle requirements of White's are not well understood.
