    Default Couple questions on new fire bellies

    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 Kelpie I 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.
