Heating Problems!

[BG]

Just keep it in mind .When you are using lighting for these frogs, always keep an eye on your temps. The other thing is if your top is screened, you loose alot of heat and humidity. Its better to have 3/4 glass and 1/4 screen. You will keep the heat and humidity in.

I will. My lid is a full screen and the humidity and temp. are both at 80 (misted over an hour ago). I have the 10 Gallon Zilla Critter Cage, which has the lock-in screen top. Would I be able to fit glass in it? If not, I'll follow Grif's suggestion with the plastic if I notice the temp. and humidity dropping too much.

Alright, guys - I see what y'all mean about the humidity. It isn't rapidly lowering, but while I'm asleep, it could drop to 60 or lower - which isn't good. Is any plastic wrap ok to use? Or is there any way I can rig some glass to fit my habitat?

Get a piece of plexy Glass and cover the side the light is not on. Like my monitor tank . I cover half the top with a piece of plexy or you could get real glass and cover half of the tank. The long side front and you can put the light on the screened side.

Don't have plexy glass, at the moment. You think putting plastic critter tote over the light and on the screen will help keep the humidity in?

Dont do it ,very unsafe. Light gets hot.

Hmm, I guess I will have go with Grif's plastic wrap suggestion for now.

Not sure. I haven't tried that. I have a Zoo Med Reptafogger hooked up to a Zoo Med Hygrotherm. The hygrotherm kicks my fogger on when the humidity drops below 80%. You could try and put a magazine over one side for a night or dial the light down a little more. I keep mine at 78 at night. As long as you don't put the plastic wrap under the light it should be fine.

Lucky! Did you get those at PetSmart? I'd like to have one. Mannn, tonight is gonna have me worried. Hopefully the plastic wrap works..
