White’s tree frog

PT4414; nominal external 90 × 45 × 90 cm; front-opening glass, closable bottom drain and lockable stainless-steel mesh top.

External dimensions are not usable internal space. Check actual individual size, access, secure gaps, load support, furnishing clearance and any substrate depth before choosing this example.

Measure the finished usable floor and height after substrate and furnishings against this guide. Check doors, vents and cable gaps for the actual animal and life stage. Secure the lid, test airflow and temperature, and keep lamps inaccessible. For terrestrial layouts retain the land floor; close and secure any drain rather than adding a water pool.

Add a securely fixed climbing route.

Fit check: PT3086 is about 182 cm long and 1.5 cm across. Check that the animal can grip it, secure it against movement and avoid trapping gaps or unsafe falls. Add broad resting cover where needed. It cannot replace food stems or a secure ceiling grip for moulting.

Three natural small cork rounds; lengths, openings and shapes vary. One natural medium cork round; lengths, openings and shapes vary.

Choose actual dimensions and openings for this individual, support securely and avoid trapping or fall hazards. This is one component, not the complete set of retreats, broad resting surfaces or a grippable moult ceiling.

Select and, where appropriate, cut an actual piece to fit the animal and enclosure. Secure it without trapping gaps and keep hard pieces outside tarantula fall zones. Cork is a refuge or climbing component, not food substrate or a complete moulting ceiling.

Use only if the actual delivered opening and length fit the animal and leave its required usable enclosure space. Secure the piece and avoid hard fall zones. This option is not an automatic upgrade for a small spider enclosure.

Measure air temperature at animal height. Take independent warm and cool readings where the care plan needs a gradient.

Fit check: The remote probe measures air at one location. Keep it away from direct lamp heat, secure it safely and keep the display outside. Use separate probes for warm and cool areas where needed. Minimum/maximum readings help track changes; this device does not measure surfaces or control heating. Use a water-rated thermometer for submerged readings.

Track air humidity at an occupied position, alongside checks of ventilation and substrate moisture.

Fit check: Place the remote humidity sensor inside the enclosure, away from direct heat. The reading describes air at that point, so record its position and check other areas where needed. Inspect the substrate and damp retreats directly, and keep ventilation clear. A humidity reading cannot show whether an animal has drinking water.

Provide a shallow water dish with enough usable space for the frog and an easy exit.

Fit check: PT2803 measures 22 × 17.8 × 5.5 cm externally. Check the usable basin, stability, safe water depth and easy entry and exit for your animal. Outside measurements do not establish a soaking fit. Clean and refresh water at least daily and whenever soiled.

Treat replacement water for chlorine and chloramine before use.

Fit check: Use only when new water needs chlorine or chloramine treatment. Prepare suitable replacement water in a separate container at the current label dose, and confirm the amphibian plan with a vet. Conditioner cannot replace cycling, water tests, changes or a safe basin. Do not use emergency overdoses or treat it as medicine.

Place or remove small food items without gripping the animal.

Fit check: Use for placing food or removing leftovers, never for gripping the animal, forcing a bite or striking its mouth. Keep tools separate between quarantine groups. Choose food and supplements separately for the species.

Provide a lower-output UV option for a climbing animal, with measured exposure at every reachable height.

Fit check: RARTP8SA is a 8 W, 315 mm UK 220–240 V fitting. Keep it away from water and spray; IP20 is not waterproof. Follow the manufacturer’s minimum animal clearance of 75 mm. This is a safety limit, not a recommended mounting height or UVI target. Check the complete fitting length, guards and reachable animal positions. Measure UV Index through the installed screen at each reachable height, with full shade available. Use a separately verified lighting circuit, never a heater’s dimming outlet. Have the exposure checked against this frog’s published care plan.

Measure UV Index at the animal’s reachable basking and resting positions, with the fitted screen and guards in place.

Fit check: Use a 6.5 or 6.5R UV Index meter, rather than a UVB irradiance meter. Measure all reachable positions and shaded retreats through the fitted screen and guards. You can borrow a suitable meter or arrange a competent exposure check instead of buying one. Confirm UK supply if buying.
