| Lighting: |
Although Fire Belly Toads have no specific requirements
for lighting you may want to use a heat bulb to
obtain the recommended basking spot temperature. |
| |
|
| Physical Design: |
These toads like to swim but will also spend a
fair bit of time on the land. For this reason you
should design their habitat with a portion of water
and a portion of land. |
| |
|
| Size: |
An aquarium that is at least 10 gallons in size
would be sufficient for up to 2 Fire Belly Toads. |
| |
|
| Substrate: |
Anything that cannot be ingested can be used as
a substrate. Suitable materials include peat moss
and compacted potting soil. Avoid materials such
as gravel and other small pebbles. |
| |
|
| Temperature: |
Appropriate temperature levels for Fire Belly
Toads are between 70 and 75 degrees F. They do enjoy
to bask so be sure to provide them with a basking
spot that is between 10 to 15 degrees F warmer than
the rest of the habitat. Water temperature should
be in the range of 75 to 80 degrees F. |
