Increasing humidity

[thadmy]

I have researched this topic on this board and others but all I can find is above misting and live plants which I already have both of. I recently completed my tree frog enclosure and have been cycling light every 12 hours. The tank is misted twice a day and has live plants and a small water feature but the humidity won't rise above 68%.

I plan on having clown frogs which need 70-80% any ideas how I can increase my humidity.

How much ventilation do you have on top? I had a full screen top and had to block some of it off with a piece of plexi and I mist at least 4 times a day. You can also get a fogger or misting system and them set on a timer to maintain humidity

You only want to be around the 60 to 70 percent for your tree frogs.

Closing up a little ventilation will cause retaining humidity and please note that if your humidity is 68 percent when the lights are on, its going to rise when the lights go out since the heat from the lamp is not burning off the humidity.

Oh I found care sheets online that said 70-80 for them and I knew it would go up at night with the lights off, so I shouldn't have to worry and where it is at now is fine

You can post a pic of the enclosure and someone might ID a way to get humidity up if you need to later on.

Keep an eye on your night time humidity and see how much it goes up after lights are out for an hour or two.

This is my tank and yeah I noticed it increases at night, but was worried it was too low during the day

I'm using a Fluker's electronic Thermometer

Is your front below the top screen glass/plexi or more screen?

you setup should retain a lot of humidity as you have it set up. I would let be since your night time humidity will be at the top end of what you want when your daytime is at 68 percent.

Yeah below the top screen is plexi, I had originally intended on using glass but I had it swing down and it broke so I replaced it with plexi. But the humidity has become more stable.

I mist twice a day and was thinking about placing a small fogger in the pool in the front so I wouldn't have to mist but thought that would leave water marks on the glass since it was DO water

[thadmy]

Just measured it and it is 70 degrees F and has 68% humidity

The foggers that you put in the pond usually don't last long.

Yeah I researched them and they make the water and air around them extremely hot
