    Default Humidity problem

    so i sprayed my tank a hole lot today even mad a lil puddle in one spot and i filled the waterfowl to the top yet the humidity won't go up its been at 60 all day -_- is my meter wrong or is it because the heating pad is behind both the thermometer and the hygrometer?

    Many issues could be either causing a bad reading or the levels not going up. Most hydrometer are really not that accurate. I usually compare a few at the store before I buy and if a few are reading similar I go with one of them.

    Lighting burns off humidity as will the heat pad. Placement of the hydrometer will also have an effect. I usually place the hydrometer near where my frogs spend most of the time. I also have part of my top covered with a piece of glass (plastic wrap will also work) to help retain the humidity. You should notice your humidity slightly rise once the lights have been out for a little while.

    What frogs are you keeping and a pic of the tank may help in finding out whats going on.
    1.0.0 Red Eyed Leaf/ Frog - Agalychnis callidryas
    1.1.1 Bumblebee Dart Frog - Dendrobates leucomelas
    1.1.0 Dendrobates truncatus - Yellow Striped
    1.1.1 Dendrobates tinctorius – Bakhuis Mountain
    1.1.0 - Dendrobates tinctorius - Powder Blue
    1.1.0 - Ranitomeya vanzolinii

    That's a Critter Keeper, so maybe try placing a strip of packing tape over one side of the vent slits........temps will affect the humidity and so will air flow. One side of vent slits will be fine and covering one side of them will help hold in the humidity.
    What are the temps in the enclosure normally?
