    Question What type of lighting is used for a Bumble Bee Toad?

    I have a Exo Terra 12"X12"X12" terrarium and was wondering what type of lighting (if any) should I use for my Bumble Bee Toad.

    The pet store had these little guys tucked away on a bottom shelf with no light

    I'm currently using a Flukers 5" dome with a 23 watt 5500K spiral fluorescent lamp.

    Too much? too little?

    I couldn't find any reference in the care sheets or on Google about lighting

    Seems fine to me. If you can grow plants with it, it should be ok for the toads. UVB would be better.

    The light you are using is fine, just be sure to keep the toads at temperatures in the early to mid 70s (21-25 °C).

    If you want to grow plants, I would recommend a 6500 or a 6700 K bulb. I use the 6500 K compact fluorescent spiral bulbs for my dart frogs, which have similar requirements temperature-wise.
