Do fire bellied toads climb?

[kittiekuddles]

Can fire bellied toads climb and make use of tree branches?

[s6t6nic6l]

they certainly can and certainly will. adding branches will keep them active and occupied. mine climb up the "walls" in my set-up.

oh wow cool thanks!
because i have branches in my setup and i was afraid the crickets will hang out up there leaving the poor fire belly's down below hungry
so they will be able to get the crickets that venture higher up?

[bshmerlie]

No they will not climb up branches to get crickets. They climb up the sides of the tank looking to escape but they will not venture up branches to go after crickets. Any crickets that venture up more than a few inches will be in the safety zone. I have branches and plants in my firebelly tank but it is only for looks and not for their enjoyment. They will more enjoy a large water section with floating plants and rocks to rest on. They are land based frogs who enjoy a dip in the pool. Save the trees for the tree frogs.

Well Cheri, satanic says they do and i just looked at his video and his frogs are all over the place, climbing the rock walls etc
I looked at your tank and you dont have much for a fire belly toad to climb on at all, maybe if you did they would..so i think the proof is in the video. im not expecting super frogs ya know, just wondering if it was possible
Your kinda against my tank period, first for the tree frogs and now for the toads...me smells jealousy

You setup is to die for. I wish you would have done a tutorial as to how you made this. I would love something like this for a frog tank later when i get moved. Can't do it before then. Move something like this from VA to FL. Nah...not happening. But kudos to you on this setup. You must get a lot of comments on it.

thank you so much
yeah if it ever comes time for me to move, the tank has to stay behind. it took four huge guys to get it down the basement. i was originally gonna go with the 265 gallon tank, but that was 7 feet long, its a good thing i didnt because it never would have made the turn past the staircase lol
it was a reef tank for five years, tore that down and was totally done with any water setup. this was about the easiest care free way to go with this tank...just still not sure what animal life to put in it lol
it started growing mushrooms already...by the time i make a decision gnomes may be moving in

That tank is much larger than the 20 gallon tanks people typically use for a White's, I wouldn't worry at all about having "only" 26 inches of height.

Oh, there is a pothos. It'll grow fast. And it looked like the right side of the bowl didn't have leaf litter but it could just be the angle.

yeah that side of the bowl i didnt put it because i have patches of live moss there that hopefully will spread
then all to the back is more leaf litter, then a frog moss area and a huge ivy clump that takes up about 1/4 of the tank on the right side that is growing quickly
im still going through frog choices, now im looking at red eyed tree frogs, they look like they will not get as heavy as the whites, the whites i can just picture in year, obese, and trampling all my plants flat lol, but they are the cutest
