Getting some GTFs. some advice needed.

[ashisnothereman]

getting 2 gtf. i have a 2ft fish tank which im sure is big enough. just wondering what the best substrate would be.. im more for benefit or the animal and ease with cleaning rather than the visual appearance side of thing. ive done a bit of reading and i think pebbles and sphagnum moss would do well... what you guys think?

whats the best diet for gtf? i have crickets for my inverts. are crickets enough for a frog and how much, how often should they be feed?

3rdly ive read gtfs need a UV light, what is the best product to use. id rather brands that are cheaper and not from pet shops as pet shops are ridiculously over priced and you can on most occasions find the exact light bulb for a fraction of the price. however i wouldnt mind products from herpshop, etc.

all help appreciated greatly

yea plantation soil or coco pete moss is fine also yea crikets are fine.also 5.0 uv is perfect.

probably going to get a repti glo 5.0 tropical bulb. just wondering if anyone knows of some cheaper alternatives? can i get similar UV globes from a lighting shop?

Im no expert i had trouble with my gtp not long ago but i have sorted everything out, reading that complete chondro book from greg maxwell was very helpful. I had my green tree in a fish tank to start with but i couldnt get it to keep the heat in very well plus because you have 360* veiw it tend to keep her unsettled and she wouldnt eat.
