    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?

    Be sure to poke some small holes in the plastic wrap for ventilation. It will still hold humidity in but will help with air trancefer. I hope it works for you. It won't harm your frog for the humidity to drop a little bit but you'll have to mist I the morning for sure.

    Do you think covering a portion of the screen with a piece of particle board would be fine? I put it on there and the humidity has actually raised a tad. Going to keep an eye on it, but it's similar to George's idea with the plexy glass. Lol.

    Yeah that should work for tonight. Actually you can place a damp wash cloth or towel over one side and it will work. I forgot to mention that. Had a DUUHHH! moment. Try that its better.

    Great idea! I will do that! By the way, is it normal for their appetite to slow down when it's cold? He/she has not eaten the 3 crickets I put into the habitat, do you turn the infrared light off when you feed at night?

    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.

    Its ok. I worry all the time. I got the fogger there but ordered the Hygrotherm from Amazon.com. its worth it. It can control 1000 watts of lights and other units.

    Thanks, I'll have to look into that! What do you think about what I said before your post?
