hi i just got a new african bullfrog and was just wondering wether i need a uv light to go above his tank as its in a darkish place so i don't know wether a uv light will make him too hot or just to get a normal light!! please can someone help

thanx

i have no idea if these frogs need uv for nutrients someone else will have to cover that one but if ur referring to just a light uv lights do not emit heat so they wont help with temps or overheat ur frog
hope this helps

I have been toldnot to use UV with my amphibs so I have a rd light on my toad to keep his temps upto what they are meant to be and with the baby bullfrog I have I have his faunarium on a heatmat.
when he goes into a paludarium(sp) he will have a normal light so I can see him and a red light for heat.
I do dust their food every other feed with calcium and D3

Do you have pics??
