i used to have four red eyes several years ago, they were cool froggies. the tank i had was about three foot tall, 24" wide and about 18" deep, screen on the side and top. had two sheets of cork bark on the back to look like trunks of trees and had a waterfall in one corner and several live plants. i had anoles in there to run around during the day and the frogs at night. loved listening to them chirp along with the sound of the waterfall going, like a mini jungle. had a night heat bulb that glowed a blueish light enough to see the frogs move but dark enough so the frogs thought it was night time. want to set it back up again and get more red eyes some time in the future, but not right now. I used to have whites tree frogs, they are soooo cute and very tame for frogs. unfortunately i don't have any pics of the vivarium to post, they are at my moms house buried somewhere, and i remember the pics were not very good, before i had a digital camara.
I love the colour of the bottom of Red Eyes....the yellow and the blue are so bright, and surprising the first time you see it :)

I'm planning on doing a vivarium as well that will include a pair of red eye's in it. Problem is, they carry a hefty price tag and aren't very easy to find in my area.
Have you tried the classifieds on Kingsnake??

Where at in California are you? At Amazon Reptiles, they had some juvie red-eyes for $20 each, which is good in my mind...
