    You will find them doing it often but I would also check your humidity levels and remember that humidity gauges are not the most accurate things.
    I try to select a gauge that is reading similar to other gauges on a display at the store.
    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

    I have a plexiglass lid on my terrarium, and keep the humidity at 90% and my toads will still soak for a long time, especially if the water is luke warm, it relaxes them. What do you have for a lid on your terrarium?

    "Usually" they're back in bed when the lights come on. I would verify the accuracy of you humidity gauges.

    Yeah the guage I am using is old. I would like to get one that uses a probe instead of sitting inside the tank.
