Starting a 10g viv

Aussie, if you turn the tank on it's side, you can avoid an overly large water dish if you mist several times a day. GTF will lap water off leaves and absorb the rest they need through their skin. Then you don't have to worry about waterproofing the bottom. They REALLY appreciate being able to climb up surfaces. You'd be amazed how long their legs really are

FIRE BELLIED TOADS ARE POSIONUS?!?!?!?!?!

Actually, Bettamom, most toads are poisonous to some extent. It's how they keep from getting eaten in the wild. They taste bad and the bigger ones, like cane/marine toads can kill a dog or cat that tries to eat them.

But I'm just wondering how on earth I'm supposed to keep it closed. Do I just get a normal top for it? Plus I was gonna use a light that was on the tank for both the plants and the frogs, but I suppose that would be useless. LOL
Could I use a normal spot lamp for it?

It looks like I'll try this approach

Cheers

If you're going to go for a taller set up as opposed to a longer, I'd personally go with Exo Terra's line of glass terrariums. They're tall, come in a variety of sizes, have two glass doors that open in front, plus a removable screen top, and they have a natural background that is specially designed to hide cords so you can do some really cool stuff like adding a water fall. It's what I'm planning on getting anyway.

But yeah, I'd definetly go for height over length with the little tree frogs.
