I want to see in the dark too =(

I have been having the same problem but don't want to get too strong a light that will disturb them. What wattage do you suggest with the red. How about Black light? I thought of buying one of the new, 7 year black bulbs from a regular store. I had heard black light was invisible to Frogs and those bulbs at the Pet Stores are so expensive. I know there's a difference with the daytime bulbs for UVA/UVB, but is there a difference with the red or black bulbs between those meant for pets and regular household bulbs?

I would avoid a black light since that is heading for the UV range, and most frogs don't expose themselves to UV on purpose. Regarding wattage, I would say the dimmest you can get. I can't give you an absolute number because it would depend on how far from the tank the light is, how deep the tank is, etc.
