Hello all,
I'm in the process of designing a new enclosure for my now huge tree frogs (Hyla boans), and am in need of some inspiration...

I'm just wondering if anyone here has a tank design that has worked well for them or know of a website that showcases large sized frog enclosures, I'm thinking in the 4'X2'X4" high size?.

I was thinking of getting it made from acrylic or glass but any other suggestions are greatly apprieciated.

Here a bit of one of the frogs:

I'm certainly no amphib expert, but I always recommend glass over acrylic for any enclosure where water is involved. Over time the acrylic doesn't stand up to mineralization and regular cleaning.
