What Light Kit Should I Go With?

I would buy an "Exoterro" or "Zoomed" brand enclosure. A "front opening" enclosure is a LOT easier for this hobby - unlike the "top opening" fish tanks.
Leucomelas are better suited to a "terrestrial" enclosure set up and not a "vertical" set up. beginner-questions-and-comments-f27/horizontal-setup-ok-for-frogs-t5296.html 2 frogs or possible a third is a good choice. No worries there. Get a suitable light fixture from Home depot, Lowe's or even Walmart. 6500 K bulbs - florescent tubes are better than compact bulbs. You want bulbs that do not generate a lot of excess heat, in your case. No worries on which type...there is no such thing as a recommended fixture or bulb as long as it's good enough light to keep plants alive. The frogs could care less. I would suspend the light a few inches above the tank and buy a small clip fan and have it blow across the bulb - helping you cool the bulb heat. Anything over approx approx 80F is the Danger Zone. @ 75F is what you want to shoot for.

buy a small clip fan from linens and things or walmart for like, $10.00. A fan blowing across the light fixture can knock down the temp as much as 3-5 degrees.
