Infrared & white light...

[GrifTheGreat]

I'm sorry, but very much says that Froggy needs UVB-light and so on... but when Lija and Grif says it dosen't matter, I really don't know what to say... but I think maybe you're right that Froggy doesen't need it... but, why does for example anoles need UVB, when pacman doesen't??

Anoles are reptiles not amphibians and most reptiles bask in the sun to thermoregulate and absorb UVA and UVB radiation. UVB is used by their bodies to properly metabolize calcium go bone by stimulating the body to produce Vitamin D3. Pacman frogs do not bask and actually will almost never see the sun. They live on the forest floor of dense rainforests or in flooded temperate grasslands where they remain burrowed into the soil during the day. They emerge at night to feed, but usually only their head so that they can see and ambush unsuspecting prey thay may wonder by. They get Vitamin D3 in other ways such as the live prey that they eat which in the wild consists mostly of vertabrates like small rodents, lizards, snakes, and other frogs including others of the same species up until adulthood. They also feed on a wide variety of invertabrates too. They benefit from low levels of UVB radiation for 4 to 6 hours a day, but like I have already told you it is not necessary.

Thank you very much! I'm skipping the UVB-bulb-idea...
