Do bumblebee walking toads need lighting/heating??

[emandkel]

I have 6 of these little guys, have a normal flourescent light on top, screen top, with a mister going off about every 3 hours, averaging around 70% humidity where they are. They do not mind the light, although it seemed when I didn't have the mister going they were more active. They still are out and about frequently during the day and evening and LOVE feeding time (fruit flies). I have some ferns growing in there which have grown better once I added the mister. I have them at room temperature (low to mid 70's) and they are fine.

Here's my setup (TetraFauna brand terrarium, size of a 20 long but a bit higher. Vivarium setup with layered hydroballs, spagnum moss, coco fiber, some torn up leaf litter and coco husk as the top layer, plus a couple of cork hides, a waterfall area, and some small ferns. I will be adding Pothos plants soon.

They are one of my favorite frogs/toads.

Bumble bee toads are very easy to keep. I've found that they do very well between 70-80F. Check out our care sheet on keeping and breeding bumble bee toads here:
