Green Light

I believe green would be to bright. Red or a moonlight bulbs would be more realistic.
You can always try it and if they retreat to becoming inactive then remove the lighting.

When adding a new light, monitor heat and humidity so the tank is not overheated or the humidity doesn't drop to low.

Thank you! I sent you a PM before I saw this, so you can just ignore that. :P

I heard frogs cannot see red or blue wavelengths. I wouldnt use the bulbs that are colored that you get from home depot (party bulbs). You need to get a low watt nocturnal bulb. I would only turn it on when you want to look at your frog because keeping it on all night may cause too much heat. get the lowest watt you can find at a pet store.

Frogs see red and blue lighting but these colors usually are subdued and more similar to a moonlight that they are not threatening. You will find with some frogs, I find this especially with RETFs, that the frog will retreat and become inactive when any color lighting is added.

My WTFs loved the red 15 watt night bulb and would pile on each other to get the best spot under it, but rarely whet near the blue moonlight lamp or the blacklight bulbs.

Thats good to know. I was unsure if the distance in wavelengths had any effect on them.

I have a green light too, I built a black lampshade for it to darken it further but I haven't tried it on frogs yet (buying White's tree frogs next week!) so I would love to hear some feedback from you about this. How is it going so far? Do your frogs mind the green light? Thanks.
