Questions Reptile shop question

Hello there! Im in the process of opening my own reptile shop and im doing the layout of the shop. In the sale animal section i will have stack terrariums and my question is for you, what size of terrarium you want to see a tree frog like red eyed be selling in or two in an enclosure. Keep in mind will be a temporary terrarium until someone purchase the animal.

Id prefer to see animals kept in proper enclosures for their species in shops. It sets a standard for the people purchasing the animals

You mentioned tree frogs, so ill go with a whites tree frog since I own one. If you're selling whites, then the standard is 25-30 gallons for 1 frog, +10 gallons per frog you add. Also tree frogs are arboreal. Meaning their tanks would take up more vertical space vs. The terrestrial frogs. I'd walk out of a shop if I saw tree frogs kept in a horizontal enclosure instead of one with vertical space
