[peeka]

it all comes down to the toads demeanor to be honest, first and foremost i would always go for a 50/50 land/water ratio as again some prefer to rest on the banks of the pool most of the time, some stay on land and the go for the odd dip and the you'll get some that prefer the 50/50 scenario. to the main point of branches it will be down to the toads if to climb/look/hide under it so would'nt go amiss either way as long as we are not talking a vertical placement . as for the crickets on the branches it's the same arguement. (i.ve seen 2 of mine scale a wall for one). plus they are good jumpers when the need arises to grab one from a certain height.

220 gal equates to what size dimensions in inches?
you can use less ratio for pool area the larger the floor space will be as long as we don't go less than a 1/3. (imo)

I wonder if perhaps people have different ideas of "climb" and that may be leading to some of the tension. If you have branches that are mostly horizontal but do have a slope on them, the toads will climb those. In my tank, I have vines, and one out of the tree sometimes climb those. That same toad will climb on my waterfall decoration. The other two could care less, but do spend part of their time out of the water and on the pieces of land. The way tree frogs climb is, obviously, completely different.

I have really nice size Malaysian leaf frog, which is a terrestial frog, but when it's storming outside and the humidity in the tank is right and he is craving a female, he climbs over everything. This has made me aware that even though he's terrestial, as soon as I move into a bigger place and settle in, I'm going to get him a larger tank that is not only longer, but taller too.

And as for the frog bug....two years ago I bought my first frog and now I'm up to 8 frogs and 3 toads, and I'm getting 2 more toads soon. So that's what you have to look forward to. :P

the tank has a 72"x24" floor space
i cant do the half water bit, but i do have a lizard pool thats about 10"x6" and 3" deep with little steps in it so they can crawl out

That's a very nice looking tank.

However, for fire-bellied toads, I would suggest more water than what the dish would provide. My toads, my friend's toads, and the toads where I work at all spend most of their time in the water, or sitting on rocks and land area that is just slightly below the water line.

I think you have a fantastic set-up,but it might be a waste for fire-bellied toads.

Don't say that he might get mad. Your supposed to agree with him.

Thank you
What would you put in there? because i am totally torn lol. I was looking at fire belly's and whites today and the whites were way too tiny, im afraid i may lose them in there.
They had these cute chubby frogs, but they were all buried and they didnt look very entertaining. Gecko's were cute but im guessing the tank is too moist for them and too chilly (75 at night 82 in the day with no additional heat source) humidity is 76%
Hubby wants to put a tarantula in there...lol now i dont see that happening at all
