Question About Purchasing Firebelly Toads

[MantisMan]

if u have a water bowl/area they should be fine, if they need water they just take a dip

We'll definitely have either a bowl or a 50% water area I just wanted to make sure I didn't *over* humidify them

Just came across an in-store special for setups. Trying to determine if it's worth it (for two frogs instead of three):

• 10 gallon terrarium
• Fresh air screen cover 20" x 10"
• Screen cover clips
• 5.5" reflector dome
• Day blue light bulb
• Heat mat terrarium heater
• Terrarium liner
• Humidity & temperature gauge
  
  

I know to purchase another substrate (and not to use the liner) but I was wondering if the rest is worth it. Pricing the rest individually at Petco, it was $82. This is $62. But this is 10 gallons instead of 20 (and the day light bulb is blue, not white like I saw earlier on.) Should I just go ahead and buy individually with a 20 gal or get this? Any opinions appreciated as always (so sorry for all the questions, trying to keep them all here lol!) Doing as much research as I can pre-purchase.

u dont need the screen cover clips, i dont use any
blue bulbs r fine but any 40w or smaller bulb is enough for them
heat mats suck, i have a few that dont really work and they r a waste of $$, the toads r fine at room temp (66-74 degrees)
and u could probably do without the gauge seeing as they do fine at room temp with a water bowl and just keep those conditions constant, no need to moniter

Thanks Alex I wasn't sure, going by lists I was given. Appreciate the feedback!

dont let peeps take advantage of u to make a quick buck
know wat u need before buying so u dont overspend on rediculous, unnecessary things
i'm always around to help with fbts, i wrote a care guide i just have to finish it

Oooh you need to, I'd love to see it And yeah, I made that mistake with my chameleon. Although imo they are a bit higher maintenance, I bought SO much stuff that was useless (and ended up losing him to something so simple x.x)
