    Room temp will do. I keep my frogs around 75-78 degrees.

    Thanks Cheri,
    I took the water 1/2 ( bottom-right ) out of my enclosure. It was heated water.
    My enclosure is 36x36x18. I have 3 different thermometers - that are all OK , including the fancy one w/ a probe.
    However, the water dish ( I have an aquarium thermometer sitting in it) is just 75 F.
    Day lights came on about an hour ago. I may have to add a little heat ? as it's on the low norm. end of the range.
    I'm off today- I will monitor it very closely.
