    Great idea! I think I will use it.

    So how do you clean your terrarium weekly? Do you have to remove all the substrate and hydroballs, and completely replace the substrate? Thanks!

    I wouldn't remove all the substrate. Thats pretty labor intensive for you and stressful for the frog. You're better off just making sure that you remove the feces regularly, change the water, and then maybe clean the substrate every few months.

    How deep should substrate be in a tank? I am curious b/c I am trying to set up a slightly bigger tank for my WTF and was wondering if I will have to buy more or can just use the half bag that I already have. (The closets pet store that sells it is about 45 min away, so I will have to plan a trip if I need more.)

    About two inches of substrate is fine.

    As for the clamp lamp it matters what the room temp is naturally if it is too low for the frog you could use a incandescent light bulb like the normal household ones if you dont need heat you could use a fluorescent bulb because it emits less heat. For both of the lights you need to keep them on a 12 hour cycle to reproduce daylight and nighttime.
