Just wanted to say:
you can get cheaper lights/hoods in a hardware store rather than a petstore. Which in a petstore you pay an arm and a leg for a hood and lights(100-200depending on size of hood and quality, lights-50-80bucks)
I found lights as cheap as 20 bucks in lowes! I bought two tubes! They were full spectrum lights. They are just as good as any light in a petstore. Oh also dont ever use "basking" lights. They dont produce alot of amount of uvb/uva radiation. They're just like any regular lightbulb in a pretty little box. If you want a bulb rather than a tube go for a vapor bulb. They throw off some heat and enough uvb/uva. Also stuff like "aquarium" glue you can find it in a hardware store for cheaper. In a petstore Id find it for 10bucks and in a hardware store I actually found one for 4bucks. Which in the long runs save money for more stuff, for the frogs or any other stuff. Though Ived been known to bargain hunt here and there I have to do it more when it comes with my animals since their stuff cost alot of cash. If its uvb/uva lighting you need go for ones that dont throw off heat. Cause if they do and water splashes a little bit on them by any chance they well break(when hot things meet cool water they break. Well depends). :O As for heat lamps. You may want to be carefull with them as well. I found that out the hard way. They sometimes can explode(even if the wattage is right), though this is my experience. It never happened to my friend, just thought Id share my findings and personal experience. Also when you look for lights, I think frogs/toads normally dont get alot of radiation. But here is the thing when light travels its 1000 of uvb hitting the ground. While when you use a normal light it just throws off 40. As for full spectrum lights can mimic the spectrum, but they wont really go that high.


Edit: I was a little bit off in the numbers. Here is what the page said
"As light travels to the earth, the ground is hit by 1,000,000 lux, and even in the forext canopy its hit by 7,000 lux. while a normal light only produces 40lux."
