    Default Increasing humidity

    I have researched this topic on this board and others but all I can find is above misting and live plants which I already have both of. I recently completed my tree frog enclosure and have been cycling light every 12 hours. The tank is misted twice a day and has live plants and a small water feature but the humidity won't rise above 68%.

    I plan on having clown frogs which need 70-80% any ideas how I can increase my humidity.

    How much ventilation do you have on top? I had a full screen top and had to block some of it off with a piece of plexi and I mist at least 4 times a day. You can also get a fogger or misting system and them set on a timer to maintain humidity
    don't mess with my frogs

    You only want to be around the 60 to 70 percent for your tree frogs.

    Closing up a little ventilation will cause retaining humidity and please note that if your humidity is 68 percent when the lights are on, its going to rise when the lights go out since the heat from the lamp is not burning off the humidity.

    Oh I found care sheets online that said 70-80 for them and I knew it would go up at night with the lights off, so I shouldn't have to worry and where it is at now is fine

    You can post a pic of the enclosure and someone might ID a way to get humidity up if you need to later on.

    Keep an eye on your night time humidity and see how much it goes up after lights are out for an hour or two.
