Wax monkey frog and Amazon milk frog

[poison]

In my personal opinion that size cage can do for a pair of milks. Never kept normal waxies so I'm not to sure. To up the air temp inside of the enclosure get a 40W house bulb. I would also get a plug in heater for knight time to keep the room temp up.

Would the milks do fine with the 55 temp?

An 18x18x24 in. enclosure will give you a volume of around 34 gallons. Take out space for decor, a background, and substrate/false bottom if a vivarium and you are left with around 24 gallons. That is going to be tight for them unless two smaller males!

Milk's kept at 55F is a no go ! They should be kept in the mid 70's and will tolerate 75-85F daytime (coldest to warm basking spot in enclosure). It can drop to 70F at night; but should not go lower. You will probably need a combination of large heating pad and a ceramic heat emitter in a dome to get those enclosures 15F degrees warmer.

Absolutely no go for waxies too, they need hot spot of 90f, i dont think any of the frogs will tolerate 50f.

My basement is too large for a space heater. I'll have to use a ceramic heat emitter or a heat pad on the side of the tank. I don't want the air in the tank to be cold, but I don't want the best emitter or heat mat dry out the tank.
