    Really? Would tinted incandescent bulbs work ?

    You mean like a regular red glass bulb instead of infrared? Infrared produced both good light output and good heat which is what they're designed for whereas a regular bulb with colored glass will mostly give off light and very little heat. As long as it is getting the climate up to where it needs to be then everything should be fine.

    Ok I have a infared 50 watt bulb now and the temp at the floor of the tank is 80.5 and a hot spot around 84-85. Is a diet of dubia roaches and crickets good for it ? How long does it take for a frog to be good with tong feeding ? Thanks I'm hopeing it will be a female and turn into a bruiser. My next frogs definitely going to be a ornate or Surinam

    The amount of time it takes for a frog to become tong trained depends on the individual frog. Some take to it immediately, some take a little time, and others will never take from tongs.

    Dubias and crickets are fine. Add some Night Crawler chunks and you've got a great diet for the frog.

    Be sure to provide some cover from the light so the frog doesn't just sit beneath it unshaded.
