Reply To: help with humidity & lighting

Nice looking set-up. More plants will definitely help the humidity. It is very normal for the humidity to be higher at the bottom of the enclosure if the tank has a screened top. I presume this one does, although the angle of the camera makes it hard to be certain. Experiment with the humidity by throwing a piece of cardboard over the top for a few hours, and then measuring the vertical zones again. I think you will find it to be much more uniform. If you do, then you may want to consider closing off a small portion of the screen (not the whole thing, definitely not) to keep the humidity up near the top to keep your froggies most comfortable. They will spend a lot of time at the top, so this detail is important.

They don’t need a lot of light, so 25W should be fine. What is the ambient temperature at the top and the bottom? Does that change with the top partially covered?
