    If planning to keep in a cold basement, will need to use heat sources for enclosures capable of bringing them 20F warmer; and keep them at mid to low 70's. They can withstand night temps in the 60's; but constant 50 to 60F is too cold . Depending on enclosure size you can do that with thermostatically controlled heat tape applied to enclosure sides.

    With screen vented enclosures, you could also use heat lamps. However; Darts need very high humidity levels and that is not an option, since you will be closing off the screened area with glass plates. Stand by for a higher electrical bill; specially if you try to warm up a 75G tank to 70F in a 50F room .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
