I'm hoping to get some Mossy Frogs in November (fingers crossed) at a reptile show. I've only been able to find 2 care sheets that both say you can house 2-3 in a 10-gallon tank, which is what I've got. However the more I read the more I see people saying that you should have less animals than care sheets usually suggest. Anyone have any experience with Mossy's and know how many I could? I'd like to get 2.

Also what's a good compact fluorescent UVB light for amphibians? There's so many out there with all different UVB ratings on them. I've currently got 2 Green Toads and I'd like to get them some light, I've seen a lot of people say toads don't actually need the light but I'd like to get it for them.

[font=Comic Sans MS]I can't direct you to a certain product, but find a light with both UVB & UVA... UVA is in the back of everyones mind, yet it is very important for amphibian digestion.[/font]

Thanks Frogman! I'll be sure to look for a light that has both.

Well I would go with a 20 gallon tall aquarium which can house 2-3 and provides more height and space for their pool. They do not require any UVB lighting, just a regular florescent light will do, to light up the enclosure.
Here is a great care sheet. But you have probably already read it.

0.0.2 wood frogs (Cloak and Dagger)
