    Default Quick tomato frog advice?

    Hey everybody! I'm sure some of you have seen some of my posts about my Pacman frog Button who is most likely an ornate but very soon I will have two tomato frogs who I intend to name Beefsteak and Roma. Anyway I have them on order from my local Petco and they could be here anytime between a few days and a 2 months so I want to make sure everything is prepared for them. I already have a 29 gallon tank with a screen lid set up for them in my room and it is filled with coconut fiber and lots of furnishings for them. My biggest concern however is humidity. Considering tomato frogs are from the tropical rainforests of Madagascar I would assume they need a constant supply of high humidity. The problem is that it is hard enough to keep steady humidity in Button's 10 gallon tank and requires heavy misting about 3 times a day. This tank is nearly 3 times that size and I just don't know if I can keep up with such high misting. Do you think it would be a good idea to get a "reptifogger"humidifier for their habitat? I'll do what I have to but they can be a bit pricey though so is their a cheaper alternative? Would it help if I also just got a humidifier for my room? Thanks so much!

    Hey,
    Yes tomato frogs need a humidity of around 70-90%. I can usually achieve this humidity for my phibs by misting once or twice per day. Exo Terra do reptile water falls that look pretty cool, they might help keep the humidity up but you could get that reptifogger
