You don't want to use a glass lid, no ventilation and doesn't let the UVB pass. The 'nose rub' you've seen was probably from the frog being kept in tank that was too small. Ranid frogs love to jump, so go big as possible. I personally would go larger than a 20 gallon. In regards to lighting, they're diurnal heliotherms, so I would give them some UVB to be safe because they'd be exposed to it in the wild. Aleast 5% when placed over a mesh top, remember it filters out up to half of the UV.
Thank you for the reccomendation, I'll see if I can get a hold of the book.

Unfortunately the biggest I can afford at the moment (and the biggest I am able to keep currently without causing problems with the family/'landlords' ) would be the long style 20 gallon. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled and ears open for anything bigger, but it may be a hard sell to the landlords [emoji14]


I've read some people using smaller slats of glass under the mesh tops to help keep in humidity but to still allow ventilation and use of the UVB lighting, would this be something I could look into to help with keeping humidity in the tank when it gets dryer in the house?
