Hello and welcome to the Forum.

I have been keeping my red eyed tree frog healthy for over a year now and your setup seems perfect, with the exception of the humidity. For a red eyed tree frog, the humidity should be above 60 percent but not exceed 75 percent. One way you can prevent high humidity levels is by adding in a screen top or a terrarium fan. Increasing air flow in the terrarium will reduce humidity. Monitor your humidity levels with a humidity gauge.

Look for signs of mold or bacteria on the substrate. Remove any fecal matter or dead food that could be a sight for bacterial growth. If you see something on the plants, wall or substrate that you feel should not be there, remove it. Also, cleaning your terrarium regularly can minimize bacteria and fungi levels.

Good luck with your new terrrarium.

Thank for all the help! I have a temp gauge on it and its at 71-75F. I have a screen cover on top. I currently am not using a heat source other than the UVB bulb that is in the terrarium hood.

I tried searching, but are there any pictures of examples of mold on the substrate anywhere in this forum?
