    That will not grow plants well, and some will die off completely, you need a 6500k.
    2.0.3 Hyla versicolor "Eastern Gray Tree Frogs"
    2.2.0 Agalychnis callidryas "Red Eyed Tree Frogs"

    0.0.3 Dendrobates auratus "Turquoise and Bronze"
    0.0.1 Anaxyrus fowleri "Fowler's Toad"

    How much are 6500k bulbs over there? I recently bought a 2 pack of 48" 6500k output bulbs for $9. Surely they can't be that much more? Are you buying vivarium/aquarium lights or just regular bulbs form a hardware shop?

    I didn't even look to see where you were located, sorry. I don't know for sure if they do international shipping at the place I linked.
