Humidity/ Light questions

[Deku]

Thankyou, il see if i can get a new bulb tomorrow.

There is this light I used to use on my frogs a long time ago but I cant find the brand anymore on my stores. I know they still sell them elsewere though. Its called naturesun? I think thats the brand? Anyways it was a long tubed bulb and the carton was green. My frogs didnt mind that light and it did some good for my plants. I dont know if itd be useful for you. But I thought I should have mentioned it. Good luck.

so you dont recomend spending the money on a UV light at all for a frog? They are fine with out the UV lighting?

Think about what most frogs are doing during the sunlight hours. They are either sleeping under a leaf in a thick rainforest that doesn't receive much light where they're at or buried under substrate, of course, depending on which kind a frog you have. They've spent millions of years evolving to not need UV light. So when thinking about which bulb to get think about what kind of bulb would be best for your plants.

Hey, thanks for the help guys.

Just to update, I do have my frog now (I posted some pics in another thread) he's still settling in, only had him a couple of days.
As I mentioned the tank came with a UV light but I find i hardly use it because he is in quite a well lit room as it is and he's always burried in his log hideout. I also find when in the evening I keep all lights off in that room he comes out a little bit more. So I think I won't use the UV.

I use a ceramic heat emitting bulb, it costs a little bit of cash but lasts a long time. It has no light so it works well for frogs.
