Default Fire Belly Setups

Hi, after much lookin around the web, i haven't been able to find many pics of other peoples set ups for Fire Bellied Toads or similar frogs, so i was wondering whether you could all post pictures of your setups and maybe the equipment used and why.

i currently have a 60x30x30 tank sat here and i dont know whats the best thing to do with it. i've got 2 toads currently in a 11" diameter circular tank Lee's Plastic Herp Habitats Firebelly Landing
and they seem very happy with it at the moment with some Sphagnum moss and a few large pebbles.

so pics please and info
Thanks

yup move 'em into the other tank, best advice i can give on set up is live plants, live plants, and more live plants. mine have peat soil topped with sphagnum moss for substrate with a 3rd of the tank taken up by a built in pool for them to soak in, and then a large log surrounded by, as stated loads of live plants eg spider pants, ferns, etc. oh yer and they have a 3rd of the tank base on a heat mat, i also have a uv light for them though uv lights are not always needed for fire bellies. hope this helps.
sam.

Heres mine, its an exoterra 45 x 45 x 45 with a partition in the middle to make the half land half water. The back is planted with a dragon tree, 2 x spider plants and some creeping fig (all from B&Q) then I put an exo terra waterfall in. The ground is forest bed with a mixture of spagnum moss, java moss and large pepples. I have a large stone and some bog wood in the water for the toads to sit on and also some guppies in there. Hope it helps

This is my setup- sorry about bad pic.

They used to have a 75/25 water / land split. Called pretty much 24/7. Made there tank more natural, and they stopped calling!!

Is an old pic- but all live plants, pothos has now gone crazy! Is a jungle!!!!
