lol, yes we do have winter. But its not the white snow covered childrens book winter. Its sunny a lot during the winter here.

He's an albino, so the bright light (or was it UV light?) could cause blindness and burning, if I recall correctly.

I would put plants in, personally. It gives the frog more places to hide, and makes the tank look nice.

ok so i put a plant in the corner tank, does the light really bother him? I thought i read somewhere, that they needed UVB to promote hunger.

You really don't need the light because it will eventually damage its vision. Because it is an albino, it will loose its eyesight much quicker. the light that you have in the room that you keep it in is plenty. As far as the heat pad goes, I really recomend it. I know that you are in SoCal, but I am guessing that its not in the 80s in your house. When you get a heat pad, place it under the tank. You will also need to either buy a glass top or wrap most of the top in plastic(still need a little air though). this will keep the tank at the right temp and humidity.

The area of the room where it is located is pretty dark throughout the day is that still fine? Also i mist twice a day will i still need a glass top or wrap on the scrren i also have a live plant in there which helps with humidity. As far as the UTH pad, how many people on here use it?

[Baelari]

I put my UTH on the side of the tank, and cover my mesh lid with foil. I have to mist every hour if I don't use the foil.
