Newbie to white's treefrogs?

[Blood Python Fanatic]

I'm going to buy a couple of tiny White's treefrogs in the near future and have a few questions, just to see if I've got everything set up right.

First of all, I saw a few at Petco. I know, I'm evil for buying at Petco, but that's the only place I can find them without paying shipping. They're Australians. I need to know whether there's ANY chance they're imports, because I refuse to support the importing of herps and will not have a WC in my house. Are any Australian white's imported?

Also, what about the water? I know tap water has too much chlorine. I'll be using bottled water (Arrowhead or Aquafina or something; is that okay?) for misting and their drinking water, but can I use tap water to make the Eco Earth, to clean the cage, and to clean the water dish?

Can I keep two 1/2" guys in a 10gal tall tank? How long will that last them?

Lastly, are waxworms okay? I breed dubia, so that will be most of their diet, but I have a few small waxies left from the beardie's bday party.


Thanks, everyone! I'm super excited!

ok, as far as I know, australia has closed its borders for importing of the white's tf and i think most other, if not all reptile species as well. If they are babies and coming from petco, yes they are captive bred. As far as the water, get reptisafe or a similar water dechlorinator, you simply add it to your tap water and viola! frog safe water! I'm not sure how long the 10 gallon would last them but you will eventually want to move them up to a 20-30 gallon, or bigger, aquarium. Waxworms are ok, as a treat. They are very very high in fat and white's are very prone to becoming overweight to begin with. I hope you enjoy your new additions, glad to see someone actually getting prepared first
