I just purchased a 36x18x12 terrarium for my 2 fire bellies (I am getting more eventually, that's why the size). I don't know what size in gallons this terrarium size is equivalent to, but I was planning on a total of 6 fire bellies.
How many FB's can comfortably be housed in a terrarium of this size?
Would a large heat pad be sufficient for heat? I'm using a small one on a small tank them now and I'm getting adequate temperature.
(I want to be able to keep them on a shelf needing just 13" H)
I was looking at having an aquatic section about 15" wide. With some lily pads and maybe real plants but problem would be getting lighting there is I don't have the height requirements on the shelf.
6 sounds about right for that size tank.
You don't need a heat pad, room temp is fine (my house is cold in the winter, they don't care).
I don't know much about plants, but Pothos will grow without much lighting and the toads like the big leaves.
Thanks for the tips KelpieI am making the shelf for them very soon and needed this information. Since they don't need a heat lamp or heat pad I should then only need 13" clear shelf space for them.
I have a heat lamp on my frogs. My house gets really cold at night though and even with the light they can get below 60 degrees and I have a regular infrared bulb to heat them. I have a 29 gallon tank I'm not sure on the dimensions but I have 6 frogs in there. I have pothos and baby bamboo growing in my tank and my frogs love it.
