Quick question ??

Do i need to heat the water in a Fire Bellied Toad tank ????????

[tenman]

prob. not, maybe if they are oriental FBT's and you are keeping them in the conservatory or your house gets very cold

Under normal 'room temperature' conditions, no. Mine have been as low as 18-20C with no harm- or even slowing down! I do have to watch it in the summer, though, as their tank can easily over-heat- I tend to turn the lamp off in hot weather.

They don't need to be heated unless they're likely to encounter frosty conditions. For normal maintenance I'd normally suggest somewhere in the range of 15-25C but they can go much much lower without trouble, some of mine were down to 3C when we had the snow last week and they were still active at that.
