Question about my setup

[~boy~]

After couple days of work, I finally got my fire bellied toad tank done.
I used Exo-Terra 18x18x18 tank for it. made it 1/3 land and 2/3 water.
with 2 small aqua plant and 2 phtho potted in the coco-fiber. this is first time i'm having fire bellied toad, so I wasn't too sure about the lighting set up.

I have 100watt heat lamp and 75watt moonlight, I'm using this with digital 24 hour auto switch. I also have used Exo-Terra Compact top with Exo-Terra Full Spectrum Repti Glo 2.0 Terrarium Lamp and Exo-Terra Repti Glo 5.0 Compact Tropical Terrarium Lamp, Room temp around 70F.

how is this set up sound? good?? bad?? any suggestion?

Have you taken multiple readings on the Temp Range when the Lights are on.
You need to take readings without the Lights on both day and Night.


I don't use any fancy lights or heaters on my tanks.
For lights durring the Day I use 48" Lights of America Fixtures with 32 Watt T8 Bulbs Daylight (6700 K). And for night time viewing i use 13 watt red CF

No Heaters.

As long as the lighting doesn't make the terrarium to hot it should be fine. As suggested earlier, check the temperature during the day and at night. Take one reading at the closest area that the toads will be to the light (probably the stone basking area the toad is pictured on above), and another at the area where they are furthest from the light. If the temperatures are in the acceptable range, good. If not, use different wattage lights, or move the lights. If cage temperature is good, but basking area temperature isn't, just pile rocks higher, but be sure they are secured so they don't fall on the toad.
