Do fire bellied toads climb?

[1beataway]

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

I absolutely love White's, but they really love height. If I was going with a treefrog, I would go with smaller ones. It's a huge tank so I think smaller treefrogs would use the space. From what I've seen of the chubbies, they don't do much, but others may disagree. I think terrestial frogs would do better though. My Malaysian leaf frog would probably love it.
It wouldn't be right for leopard geckos, but there are other types that would enjoy it. You might consider the eyelash crested gecko. Very pretty and not hard to handle.
Personally, I'd still pick frogs.
How tall is it? It may not be bad for White's if it's taller than I'm thinking, but I would then say more branches and leaves. Maybe some cork bark to lean against the glass in some areas. My White's love to hide behind the bark during the day and then climb it at night.

Yeah im kinda hoping for some kind of frog myself, their just cuter than anything
The tank was 31" high but with all that soil layer its now only about 26" high
oo and i do have the cork bark, couldnt see it i guess from that other pic, but here it is in the corner, and i tilted it so it has large cave area in the back, the cork bark is 18" wide and 24" tall
I guess if i can find medium sized whites it would work better, the ones they had looked like infants, very very small, although at that size the twigs will work, then when they get heavier i would need thicker branches for sure.
I checked out the jungle vine today and they were too small, 6 feet long but coiled and twisted up i would need like 4 of them to make any difference in that tank
Leaf frog aye? lol i will have to look into that, im not familiar with them

I like the tank from the front too. I am jealous of the size of the tank.

I would go with smaller White's. You don't need to go with tiny ones (though I personally love them when they're only an inch long) but at least juveniles. Are those all real plants? The real plants will grow out and it'll look more full, which will be good for the frogs. You could throw in a pothos to have some fast growth in there. If I were you and thinking of White's, I would add leaf litter under and around that water dish; otherwise, they are going to drag that dirt into the water dish (I have 5 White's; trust me, I know. ). Also, it's hard to guess the size of that water dish, but as they get bigger, you may need a bigger size.
