    I recently purchased a fairly large terrarium for a WTF that I am getting my dad for Christmas. I have a few questions.Here Goes:
    #1: What lights are required for a wtf? UVB and UVA?
    #2: Do they need heat lights of any sort? Or an UTH?
    #3: Foggers: good or bad?
    #4: What is THE BEST substrate for a wtf?
    #5: What plants do you reccomend?(live plants, not plastic)

    Sorry for so many questions but I want to do this RIGHT!
    Thanks!

    1:Because these frogs are nocturnal, there are no special lighting requirements, however a basking light or heater should be provided, outside of the cage, to provide a gradient of 80-86 F during the day, with a drop to 72-78 F at night.
    2:Basking light or heater for heat.
    3: Really good. They love foggers.
    4:Larger pieces of bark, large sized gravel, or soil can be used, and can be covered with sphagnum moss (which will help retain moisture for humidity). Avoid small sized gravel or bark or the frogs may accidentally ingest it.
    5:Live.
