2013年10月27日 · Avoid the use of any type of light that will produce significant amounts of heat, as fire-bellied toads do not telerate temperatures much above 80 degrees for extended periods of time. Instead, consider a fluorescent tube, preferably a low UV output bulb (Repti-Sun 5.0) placed above the entire length of the enclosure.

2012年11月7日 · Not true. Infrared are best for heat and night time viewing, but you can also use Moonlight Blue incandescent bulbs as well. Neither will disrupt the day/night cycle even though the frog can see the light it is not the same as actual daylight basking bulbs. Like Trevor said above Black lights are bad for the animal in the long run.

2012年1月22日 · There's some debate over whether red eyes need, or at least benefit from, UVB light. Aside from that, there's no strict evidence that suggests they need light at all, since they only become active in the dark. If you keep them in a planted vivarium, then it's the plants that determine what kind of light you need.

2013年11月8日 · I have two bulbs, plant light and a uvb light. The toads are hiding away from the uvb light. They move to the furthest end of the tank and stay there. Why?

Providing a 2.0 UV bulb would be appropriate for an 18” tall terrarium. Be sure to replace the bulbs every 6 months because the UV bulbs will weaken overtime.

2012年7月16日 · It is an article about UV deficiency and how the correct flouro bulbs are still recommended for amphibians that don't need an extra heat source. It did mention damage was recorded in a few species but most likely due to vitamin imbalances than lighting.

2015年9月28日 · pretty much what cory said but cory 5.0 might be high uv for an animal that is burrowing during the day and doesn't bask? a 2.0 or natural light will be enough for lighting and for heating etiher a heat mat on the side on a thermostat, preferably on a pulse thermostat such as the microclimate b2me or a red bulb like said on a dimming b1me thermostat. i'd pay …

2011年11月9日 · A UV light is not required with amphibians. If you want a light, use a "Repti-Glo 2.0" CFL bulb or similar 2.0 bulb, this is all you need, otherwise most other bulbs arn't good for the toad. Yes, make sure you cover the gravel, with at the very least 3" of substrate. The ratio of land to water sounds good, but how deep is the water?
