Zoo Med makes a wonderful product called the HygroTherm that I use on many of my tanks. It is a Thermostat and Humidistat all in one. It has a sensor that you you place in the tank which monitors your temperatures and humidity inside the tank. Then you plug in your heatmats or heat lamps and your foggers/misters into the device and it will turn them on and off as needed to maintain the desired setting.
It monitors the temps from 50-122 degrees Fareinheight (10-50 degrees Celcius) and the relative humidity at 15%-95%. It has a "heat" mode which turns on or off your heatmats as needed depending on what you set it at. Or you can set in on "cool" mode which will turn on or off cooling devices such as fans. You can plug in misters or foggers which will help with the longevity of those products. The fogger won't have to be on very often and as a result it can last years.
You can also program it to have a night time drop in temperature for your frogs. The program has a battery backup in case you have a power loss so it will retain your settings.
This is a great device that will allow you to be more computer controlled so you can go on vacations with peace of mind. You don't have to count on parents, neighbors, or friends to mist your frogs while you are away. You can feel secure knowing that their needs are being met consistantly. The more things you do to help maintain your collection in a simpler way the more time you can spend enjoying your frogs.
