Thanks Kevin-I will definitely keep that in mind. Right now, with froglets and toadlets all around, I don't have time for plants....but one day I will give it a good honest try! And then scream for help!!

I remember hearing someone say on this forum about how frogs and toads dont need light. But... In all honesty in nature they still get some uvb/uva penetrating the ground to them. Or wherever they are. Since this set up is for firebellies you may want to give it a whirl. Its not going to hurt them either way. So why not try? I think this would be good for fish too and any animal in all honesty.

They are set up next to a window that is frequently open (the shades that is) and I've noticed that they will sit on the turtle docks and bask in the sun. And they face the window, too. It's kind of cute in a Pod People kind of way-9 toads all facing the same direction, not moving....I've watched too many horror movies apparently!!

You know glass reflects the rays of the sun. So only a very small percent gets in? Especially if your window is closed. Theyd get a very small amount of it. They should have more uvb and uva exposed to them.

Though that is adorable. My toads are a little bit weird. They like to bask too. The larger one will sit on the heighest top of the small terrarium to soak up the rays and then the other ones followsuit him. I do this with my turtles light. Like I put it next to my turtles tank since its light its very powerful. But since its a distance of two feet it gets a certain ammount. Which for now is okay. I want to expose them to atleast 7,000 lux. Or 10,000lux.
