Hi, I've been using plexiglass because I'm still trying to get everything arranged. I've seen pictures of people using duct tape around the edges to seal the top better and lock in the humidity. I heard though that saran wrap works best.
wondering what other people use. Thanks.
I silicone plexi or glass in place of the screens on the lids. Any small holes or gaps, I cover with gorilla tape.

Thanks! So this is a more permanent fix. Do you still keep the area free where the heat lamp goes, or do you place in on top of the plexi ?
do you leave the regular spot open for air or do you do it to the entire top and have the heat lamp rest on top? If you might be able to post a picture. Thanks Bill!
If you need to use a heat lamp, aluminum foil works great. Cover whole screen in aluminum foil (I use the heavy duty one). Then outline the light fixture with a sharpie marker and cut the hole open with scissors; but make it around 1 cm. larger. You are done !
For instances where no top bulb heating is required, you can use glass or clear plastic sheet to cover screen. Good luck!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !
Carlos has the best way if using an external heat source. I normally use false bottoms/aquarium heaters.
