So now that I have Clyde, my young Gray Tree Frog in his new habitat - a 20 gal. tank with coconut shell substrate, a water dish, natural tree limbs and a bark hidy-compartment, what about lighting?

The tank has a large florescent light, which I used regularly with the tads that were previously in this tank. But Clyde keeps hiding in the upper corners of the tank, where it seems he is trying to get away from the light. He didn't have too many hiding options until tonight, so maybe that will change. I also turned his light off at night.

Where he is currently set up he doesn't get much natural light.

What should I do for lighting? Is this florescent light too much for him? Your suggestions would be helpful.

As my other tadpoles turn into froglets, if they are the same Gray Tree Frogs, I plan to add them to his habitat as well. I'm pretty sure only two of the tads have the possibility of being the same frog.

Thanks,
Frognug

The florescent tube should work fine. He was hiding the the corners because he didn't have enough hiding spots where he would feel secure. Cover up 3 sides of the tank (the two short and the back) with something, like aquarium paper, newspaper, anything really.

I should have given you this care sheet a long time ago. It will pretty much tell you everything you need to know.
