Today when i was turning on all the lights for my reptiles n what not i checked in my Whites tree frog enclsoure and the little guy was dead )': He started having seizures when it tryed to jump acouple days ago so i have to figure that is probally the reason he died :/
But now i guess i have a planted enclsoure with lots of vines and what not so what do you guys suggest getting to replace the little guy? Its a 18x18x24 exo terra, I like every thing insects to reptiles id prefer a snake but like i said i love pretty much everything reptile so give tons of suggestions.
Thanks for reading

Sorry for your loss, it can be very frustrating not being able to find a vet.

Make sure you clean EVERYTHING in that enclosure before putting a new animal in there. You have no way of knowing whether or not it was contagious.
Especially critical if you plan on getting another amphibian.

It definitely must have really sucked not being able to find a vet I wish it could have ended differently.

Did you change anything in the enclosure recently? Use any aerosol sprays in that room, or cleaning products? Were the plants/furniture in the tank new, or could they have come into contact with herbicides etc? neuro things in amphibs can be bought on by almost anything :/ Sorry, again

No i have not changed it one bit And nothing new i just have my cologne but i spray myself not even neer the cage, No the bamboo was in a fish tank with live fish so thats save and the pathos i have in another enclsoure so its all good, The change started when the moss died off like i collected it from the back yard under the deck where we dont spray any pesticides or anything, I just dont know how this even happend it was super sad to just watch the little buddy die it mostlikely was suffering because it was having those siezurs for a week :/ I just feel so bad...
