Quick question about acclimation

[Hoppity100]

Yes, the room temps are fine but if the water isn't heated its too cold. My tank is near a window and with winter coming the heater will be wonderful for them. I have strands of plants in the water, other plants are soft and fake. I don't have a hood with light...I would not put light in their eyes. I have a small lamp next to them for evening. Top is partially covered with saran wrap which traps some humidity.

They do not need a water heater if the room temp is in the 70s! Here is the link to the FBT care article. Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives

I know they could survive without one but mine have one, its not bothering them at all.

ya they are doing just great i bought a electric thermometer that has a probe on the end so i can test the water temp as well as the normal temp of the enclosure. I live in California so it barely gets really cold. but if it is cold i was thinkin of turning my heater on for like 2-3 hours in the morning to heat it up a little then i throw a towel over my screen lid to keep some of the heat in and shut the heater off to maybe heat up the tank a little for the cold season days would this be a good idea or does anyone do anything similar to this???

Your heater,..is it a submersible for water or another kind? Mine are in a constant temp (have this heater for their water) and tank is pretty constant and I control humidity. Being in California you probably don't have a winter like we do with snow and ice storms. To make it worse we have bad drivers, too. When we are going to get snowed in I prepare ahead of time. And you have a screened lid? I do, and put saran wrap over maybe 1/2 the top depending on temp outside and if its night. My tank is by a window for natural light so I use saran wrap when sun is not out and its cloudy. This works wonderful and adds just enough humidity. The heater is pre-set to 76 degrees by Tetra. Then I have a small lamp next to tank with either 15 or 25 w bulb. Hope this helps, write if you have questions.I'm taking a break...I just cleaned my fish tank and sat down with some tea.

no its an under the tank heat pad. i have a humidity meter, electric thermometer that can test the water temp and have been monitoring the temps through out the day for the past couple days. i think i got it pretty much figured out they actually eat with my hand in there directing crickets now. Thanks everyone for all your help i am fully happy with my purchase/setup now. video of eduardo snagging a cricket =)

Anytime! Glad I could help, I tried to watch your video, it says its private. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with my computer? I'll try again.
