50w is just a basic guideline to go by since for most lights over 50w will hurt the frogs eyes, but since your using a ceramic light that isnt an issue but just go around 50w. 75w seems a bit to much, but i dont know a whole lot about lights to be honest. i think they give the same warmth. only males will croak, i know that for sure. u definately got a male, hope you wanted/didnt mind one!

and for u is better a infrared lamp or a ceramic one?

yep, i hope he's a male

it doesnt really matter what light you go for as long as u keep lights on during the day so it stimulates a day and night cycle. and i geuss its no longer hope hes a male!

ok..i bought a ceramic lamp 60w...i removed my heating pad and now im waiting to stabilize my temps...

i have another question...how many mice has to eat in a month?

[mafoo]

the maximum amount you can feed mice safely is about 1 appropriately sized mouse every 2 weeks. you dont have to feed it mice if you dont like though, there just to create some variety and possibily a bit of fun for the owner. if your feeding mice past the fuzzy stage make sure there frozen and thawed since live mice can injure the frog

Ciao ragazzo !

I use this 50W spot :

Exo Terra : Daylight Basking Spot

For the day, it creates hot spot at 31°C and an average temperature of 27C° in my tank (Cold spot at 24°C).

Of course it decreases humidity in the tank, but the most important thing is to have a permanently humid substrate (Coco fiber is prefect).

si tu parle italien je peux parler un petit peu francais aussi je rigole

i bought a ceramic lamp cause it has no light...i want to let my frog with natural light coming from my windows room...i read that white light can annoy frog's eyes...so i bought the Repta Cera Heat of 60w...it seems work good...

ps: about feeding...my frog now can eat mice...if he eat twice a month (i mean mice), i have to put calcium on insects during the month? or 2 mice a month give to my frog all calcium needed?

Ceramic lamp is really not advised.
It will decrease a lot humidity rate and you will have to be very careful to maintain, at least, your substrate wet.

I think that the ideal solution is a heating cable (With sufficient power to get the right temps) fixed on the sides of the tank.
Then it will decrease less the humidity than a spot and the other advantage is that you can manage temps by plugging the cable on a thermostat.
Then you can give natural light or "Non heating light".

I do this with my pacman frog (50W heating cable in a 30x30x30) and the light is provided through a Reptiglo 2.0 UVB 13W from Exo Terra.
