    Default Summer is fast approaching

    And for many of us we are already experiencing very warm temperatures. Plesse check to make sure your heat mats and light bulbs are not cooking your frogs during the day while you're at work. Also how hot does your house get when you're not at home with the AC on? Then factor in how much your lights heat up the tank. Perhaps people could give examples of some of the things they do to keep their frogs cool during the hot summer months.

    When ever possible I move the enclosures to lower levels... it's always cooler on the floor... heat rises. And if need be, I run a ocilating fan to move the air around. I keep newts so maintaining a lower temperature is very important for their well being.
