    Question Humidity problem please help?

    So on all my frog tanks I've had issues with keeping it moist and lovely from the frogs the only way I've managed lately is misting a lot i am talking 3 times or more a day to keep the cages from drying out. any help and tips?


    Set
    2-10 Gallon tanks with water bowls in them
    Eco earth
    both have 40 watt heating bulbs in mini domes
    both have Aluminium foil on the non heated side to keep moister in.

    Try a piece of plexiglass over about 2/3-3/4 of the lid. I assume you're using screen lids on the cages? Even getting an automated sprayer would help in the long run. Are they in a very warm/cold room? If so you might want to consider moving them if the problem gets to be that bad. Good luck!

    Maybe try feeding them in a separate container, making a feeding spot clear of moss in their main tank, or even careful tong feeding.

    Sometimes I put wet paper towels over most of a tank lid and then cover it with tin foil. I'm not exactly sure how effective this is but it seems to keep humidity at a steady range.
