    Default FBT's in 6 gallon?

    Can you keep fire belly toads in a 6 gallon terrarium?

    If you plan to only keep one a six gallon is good but if you
    plan to keep two or three, a ten gallon aquarium is needed

    Ok, thank you! I do have a spare 10 gallon but I have a 6 gallon square aquatop all set up to where it would work. So if I want 2, I should go with the 10?

    im sure, most would disagree with me... but i have 2 in a 5.5 (but its a funny shape, its really tall and wide) that get along just fine.

    they both have their own soaking bowls. there are lots of plants for them to get away from each other.

    there is a rock house. that one can be in, or one can be on top of. (or sometimes, both are in)

    they get along GREAT

    Oh nice! Now, either way, would you advise 3/4 water? Or 3/4 land and just have like you said, soaking bowls or a spot that is lower for a shallow pool?

    both set ups are ideal... as long as you meet all of their basic housing requirements and needs.

    when i had my 3/4ths water set up, a filter greatly assists in being able to keep the water a clean sustainable level. i changed a a 3/4ths land set up, with 2 bowls for soaking. because i could change the water out more easily a few times a week. and honestly, because when i had mostly water, my toads became horny toads. and i didnt want tadpoles.
