I have been doing this for years and its most enjoyable sitting out at nite listening to the frogs singing.
It sounds like a great idea. I am sure I would fret a bit at first. Do you have a picture or two of your outside pond so that I may get some ideas.

I keep my tegu lizards outside all summer. The summers in Maine are hot and humid during the day and nice and warm at night (fan or A/C running inside just to sleep). I do not think temps or humidity would be an issue. As stated above. I would love to see how your outside pond enclosure is set up. Perhaps I will set something up outside and try a few of my frogs outside. I have 11 adult WTF's that I have inside in various naturalistic enclosures with UVB, but there really is no substitute for natural sunlight.

Re: white's tree frogs
Ed,
Can you snap a few pictures of your frog pond setup? I would be interested in seeing how you did it. Perhaps I will try doing the same here if I can get over the fear of them escaping or not being able to find them in the fall.

Sure, working on them now, getting them ready for the frogsters.

Re: white's tree frogs
Ed, this sounds like a lot of fun to me too but being in MN I don't know how long they could be out, maybe only 2-3 months of the year. What kind of temp extremes can they handle? How big are your ponds and enclosures? Do you hang up any lights for heat or to attract bugs? What do you feed during the summer months? You've always had great looking frogs, this outdoor living must be pretty agreeable to them.

This is not a *Bump* even though it may appear like one.
