Enhancing the appearance of your frog’s tank can be accomplished by adding accessories. Whether they serve a practical purpose or they’re simply cosmetic, accessories can make a huge difference in the overall appearance. Toe pads have patterns on the surface, it's not a smooth layer. Underneath these patterns, there are fluid vessels, glands and blood vessels," said Animangsu Ghatak, an assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur. It’s hard for me to recommend one accessory over the other without first knowing the type of frog you’re keeping. For tree frogs, definitely go with a jungle vine, mushroom ledge, and consider a waterfall and/or hide. For toads, getting a hide (or two) is highly recommended. Toads won’t use a jungle vine as much as a tree frog but they’re still great for decorations. This is perfect for all kinds of frogs. Whether they’re terrestrial toads or tree frogs, a hide is a great addition. Also, there are plenty to choose from.

One of the best ways to decorate your frog’s tank is by using a “hide”. A hide is something that provides shelter for your pet; a hiding place. Not only can your amphibian use it for hiding but it can be a great decoration. Anyway, whether or not your frog can (or will) use it as a hiding place is beside the point. The main reason you would get this accessory is that it looks cool.Jungle vines are great for all types of enclosures, but especially vertical terrariums housing arboreal frogs. Vines are similar to branches but, of course, they’re more bendable. With a little patience, you can shape them how you want them. The mushroom ledge from Zoo Med is the perfect fit for an arboreal frog. Especially if the enclosure has only a few climbing spots. Naturally, tree frogs will climb all over the glass but a ledge gives them a perching spot off the ground.

It needs roughly 24 hours to dry and works best if you’re able to lay the glass terrarium on its side (to keep the ledge straight while the adhesive dries). On the other hand, it’s nice that you can glue it to the glass. The powerful adhesive cyanoacrylate, found in super glue and similar products, doesn’t let go easily. But dermatologist John Anthony, MD, explains how to get super glue off your skin safely. Steps to getting super glue off your skin For some frogs, a hide will be more of a decoration than something it uses. It all depends on the species and their temperament. For others, they will use it often and it might help them to feel more comfortable. Having a nearby hiding place makes amphibians more relaxed. This would go well in terrariums housing smaller frogs. Species like poison-dart frogs or Mantellas would fit nicely. A large toad, on the other hand, might just be too big to use it as a hiding place. Otherwise, try propping the skull in such a way that it takes away any risk of injury. That goes for all hides, by the way. Not just this one.If your fingers are glued together, or your skin is glued to something else, don’t panic. You can usually get the glue off with one of these steps. The T-Rex Skull from Exo Terra might not offer much functionality for a frog’s enclosure but it looks amazing. By the way, it’s definitely a “hide”. A hide that works really good for certain creatures; those small enough to fit in to it. Increased humidity usually isn’t a problem. It can potentially be a problem if the waterfall were to make the enclosure too humid. Just be aware of the average humidity within your frog’s tank and only get a waterfall if the small increase to humidity would negatively affect your pet. These fluid vessels, because of the capillary pressure, the adhesion stress increased by 30 times," Ghatak said by telephone. Lather up: “Wash the area with soap and warm water,” Dr. Anthony suggests. “ Hand soap or dish soap works well. Washing it off will usually soften the glue and break the bond — if you do it before the glue hardens.” If it doesn’t come off easily after washing up, move on to the next step.

The naturalistic mushroom ledge from Zoo Med is a great fit for a tree frog terrarium. It comes with everything needed, including the silicone used to attach the ledge to the wall of the enclosure. Other waterfalls simply pump water from the bottom to the top. These types would require you to place the waterfall in some sort of container or water bowl. That or you can build a complex drainage layer and incorporate a pool of water in the enclosure. Totally up to you, friend. The only thing you need to worry about is the size. One, will it fit into the tank and two, will your frog fit into the hide? Your frog should be able to enter and exit the hide with no problem. If super glue doesn’t come off with soap, oils or acetone, and it’s not bothering you, wait a few days. As the skin sloughs off naturally, the glue will come off, too.

Zoo Med has a few all-in-one waterfalls with various designs. One looks like a hallowed stump while the others look like stone with a skull incorporated into it. Also, I believe they all include LED lights that can add an interesting look to your terrarium. Now, Zoo Med isn’t the only company making these ledges. Some of them come with a food and water dish but they’re meant for lizards. For frogs, go with a ledge that doesn’t have a food/water dish. And finally, don’t use scrubs, pumice stones or other harsh abrasives to remove super glue. “These items can irritate and damage the skin, and the other methods work better,” Dr. Anthony says.
