Well you finally got pics!!!.... Con-grats!

Just a couple of things to mention to be sure its done right...

Insure you have a drainage under the earth..like rocks then a screening then the dirt.... Can’t tell by the pics as you may have done this...
They need this to stop any mold growth and to allow aeration underneath... If you don’t have, then wait a week and then remove them for a few minutes and change it... Don’t want to stress them right now so give them settling in time....lecca balls or pond stone works well..

I know one pce. of wood is mopani but what is the tall log? Just want to check its safe for you..

You may need another water dish or a larger one... Whichever works to fit your tank... It looks a little small with both of them in it..lol I use two, it helps humidity too....

They look great!!... Good job....

Thanks! i did put a layer of gravel un derneath but not a wire screening...........that would be very useful for cleaning Tsunami and Chumpy are always together it seems xD that tall log is Maple wood. we had a bad ice storm this winter and so it fell of our tree we made a huge wood pile n stuff to give to my Grandpa cus he uses a fire stove and i decided to use it.i put it in the over for 20min on 350F and let it dry for another 3 days i also had my friend sand the ruff edges but the bark is smooth to the touch so i didnt figure on sanding the bark off.

All sounds good.....

As for the screening...yes it does make cleaning easier.... so Wait till you do your first changing of soil and then add a screening then rather than now as all is clean for now.... Might make things easier for you...

You wouldn’t need to change out the substrate if you were using live plants in there. I highly recommend it. A pothos in that left corner would grow well, giving some natural bottom cover and vine off that you could wrap around your wood piece. A small 3" pot would be under $5, you then just remove it from the soil, wash the plant and put it right into your tank. No UV needed.

You most definitely need a larger water dish. It should be deep enough for them to sit in fully in water and much wider, probably double the size. You can use a plastic dog dish from the Dollar Store, or even a glass dish.

o Ragdoll that dish is big enough for 1 of em to be in Chumpy likes to lay her wholeself in the thing and spreads out her legs a lil then Tsunami has to be retarded and join in xD. then they are both putting half there bodies in the water. im just saying i think its plenty big.

I’m sorry but the water dish is not big enough for even the one.

You need to understand that they "drink" through their skin and need to soak and be able to submerge their bodies. The water should be about the depth of the length of their body from nose to vent. In addition to the depth you need it to be wide enough for both at the same time to stretch out. Otherwise you run the risk of one of them becoming dehydrated, which is death to a frog.

I’d suggest looking at tanks of others’ Whites to see what I’m talking about.

As you can see by these pics of my frogs;.... The frogs can sit and lay out together if they want... If you house two frogs together the water area must be large enough so both can bathe together.

As I stated above some use two dishes.... I have two of the stone type dishes for 4 of the whites and the dark blue dish is a plant bottom ceramic with the shiny finish..very cheap to get at Walmart...’ these come in all sorts of colors or even plain terra cotta (orangy color type)

These are not deep.... They should be able to sit comfortably in them without drowning and easy to clean so insure you can take them in and out to clean easily....

This bottom pic shows the terra cotta type and the size....This is just very simple to insure safety, cleanliness etc....
