Good Day All!
I am getting prepared to set up an enclosure for Amazon Milk Frogs.
Hoping to get 2 or 3.
Right now I have an 18x18x36 headed to me in the mail (Josh's Frogs stated this is large enough for 2-4).
While they're still young, I'll be using eco earth as substrate. When they get bigger, I'll convert to fully aquatic.
My home stays between 70-80 year-round, so do I need to invest in a heater? Or will they be fine in this range? And of course, I'll be getting a thermometer/hygrometer to help me maintain these.
As for filling the tank with things for them to climb on, I'll be getting a mangrove root style "decoration", so it will last once converted to full water. Is there any kind of wood that will last permanently in an aquatic setup? Or should I just stick with this plastic? I saw some beautiful grapewood online but I don't want to shell out that much money if it wont last.
Other than that, an assortment of vines and foliage.
I'll also be getting fake water lettuce and duckweed for when I switch to water.
Do these guys NEED UV lighting, or will D3 with their calcium supplements do?? I'm reading a lot of mixed info on this.
There will be light regardless, but what info I receive on here will dictate whether it's UV lighting or just something simple for day/night cycling.
