Fire bellies are pretty easy to take care of. Mine eats nothing but live crickets. So try getting small or medium sized ones, but not the large ones they can be too big/fast and they make noise. A good sized aquarium is important too. Fire bellies like land and water and room to jump.

My firebellies eat wingless and flightless fruit flies. Most good herp stores will carry these in decent size colonies for under $20. If you feed your firebelly strictly crickets, you will need to dust them with vitamins or they will become deficient in several vitamins.
