Males are territorial, so really only one should be kept in each enclosure. Ideally, bullfrogs should be given a container appropriate to their size, I don't recommend anything smaller than a 75g tank or equivalent. If I were keeping them at home I certainly would make a custom enclosure that maximized floor space. Contrary to what most people say, I don't think that bullfrogs need much water as adults. All of the bullfrogs I use on exhibit rarely enter the water part of the tank, especially when provided with a water dish to sit in.

I never used anything special for lighting for native species. Natural daylight (but NOT direct sunlight!) should be OK.
