POLL:- Water : Land ratio for an FBT tank?

[Mr Bee]

Just wondering what sort of land/water combinations are the most used and reccommended for FBT's.

75% land & 25% water

50% land & 50% water

25% land & 75% water

All water with just floating islands or exposed rocks


Oh, and if I can also ask () what depth of water is most reccommended for these toads (or frogs!)?

Hi Mr Bee, i like the first choice.

[Heatheranne]

Mine was about 40% land to 60% water with waterfall, large rocks, and plants to set on in water. Water was about 2 inches deep.

My water is about two inches deep with two turtle docks on each end of the tank. I also have rocks for them to rest on in the water. I just find it easier to keep the water clean this way. There is no dirt for them to drag into the water. The plants are on the back wall and recessed into the turtle docks.

this can be dependant on viv floor space. 50/50 is my ideal ratio. this just gives the toads the ideal scenario for them to utilise. the toads demeanor can vary a lot, some spend more time in the pool, others land and some both. as you get larger in volume the pool/water area can be lessened to a smaller ratio as long as there is the option to excercise and swim if need be. to small a land gives rise to "spoilt" toads that get fed by hand/tongs and such due to wastage thru drowning when food is given. pool depth: 4" as this lets them have some degree of swim area and they are quite comfortable resting with nose above water even tho rocks/plants should be placed too.

I have a ten gallon and since you can't do much with it, I just add a few rocks and plants, then fill it with water.

the set up i went for is prob around a 60% land and 40%, same as heather, just gives them that option to do it all . as well as a main land area, i have rocks and bog wood running along the back of the tank, for added fun and texture for the toads, letting them swim under it, climb etc.

my water depth is prob about 3 to 3 1/2 inches and they seem very happy, with this
