whites tree frog lighting

[tamhart]

I am new and trying to figure out the exact requirements for proper lighting for dumpy tree frogs. I have the exoterra rainforest setup which came with a compact fluorescent top. I am not sure if this is sufficient or if I need another type of light. It was my understanding that I need a light for the day which i assume this fluorescent one that came with the kit is for, and a red one for at night. I am just not sure how to set this tank up with lights. Do i need a completely different lighting fixture that can hold 2 different bulbs..done for day and one for night? I have the medium kit 18 x 18 x 24. Thanks for helping!

I have two day lights for during the day for heating purposes. Then I have one night light to keep it warm during the night, The light hood that it came with should be sufficient

(Short answer: The frogs themselves do not need any kind of special light at all, just a light source of some sort to create a day/night-cycle (for example a light on a timer).
