    Default What are some ways of keeping the humidity up during winter?

    Hey guys!

    Its winter here in Australia and the humidity stays at around 50-60%. I know its common to have low humidity during winter.

    I am new to frog owning and have 3 Australian Green Tree Frogs.

    So, do you have any ways of bumping the humidity up without raising the temperature?

    Thanks guys!

    just cover the top of your tank with something like plastic wrap or something and kinda keep the substrate very moist and mist twice a day and you should be fine

    Yeah. Cardboard or plastic...depends on how hot your lights get. Don't melt the plastic in other words.

    I'm a fan of the zoomed reptifogger. The new one's adapter fits a 2 liter bottle. I hook mine to a timer; on 1/2 hour, off 1 hour. And off completely at night.

    I agree with Morgan. The Zoomed Reptifogger is amazing. I have one on my Red-Eyed Leaf Frog enclosure and it comes on for about 10 minutes every hour and it maintains my humidity perfectly in the zone that I want it. During the winter I adjust it up a few minutes every hour and I keep my humidity year round.

    Thanks guys! I have whites tree frogs and they don't need very high humidity. I tried putting a towel on the gap of the ventilation screen and the heat went way up. And that was on the cool side (light with no light)

    Fogger sounds good but ill have to think about it.

    I heard i could put ice cubes in there. Would that work or harm the frog?

    ice cubes it might possibly work and i dont think it would harm the frogs as long as they do not swallow them or anything put them in a spot you know they wont eat them or anything
