I just moved my now adult whites tree frog to a 20 g. tall and I don't know what to do with his old tank. It is 12x12x18 exoterra glass tank (LxWxH). I have no idea what might fit in there. I was thinking maybe a green treefrog (Hyla Cinerea I think) or if anybody else has any ideas that would be great! Thanks guys!!!
Sell it and use the money to buy a bigger tank for your White's Tree Frog

That's a great tank for H. cinerea. If you're collecting your own frogs, your other local treefrogs would also work well- H. chrysoscelis/versicolor, H. avivoca, H. squirella, H. femoralis, H. gratiosa, or Pseudacris crucifer would all be fine in that tank. Just don't put a big green or barker in with juvenile frogs or with small adult squirrels or peepers. They're not habitual frogeaters like White's or Cubans, but the potential for disaster is there.

i had a huge squirrel that would munch on smaller green and anoles. soungs like a perfect tank for a few natives. or maybe something outside the box, like kassina maculata

from your question i'd go with the gecko, maybe anoles,but tree frog is ok too. It's really up to you,but the gecko would be best. Good Luck. :)

If you want to go the gecko route, you could keep a pair of Phelsuma Klemmeri in a tank that sized. They are one of the prettiest species of Day Gecko out there.

Lol, yeah they're not cheap, but if you can find them, they're worth it. I saw these guys for sale at the reptile show I was at the other week. Unfortunately I don't recall what they were going for. It's been a while since I've kept any Phelsuma.
