Nope I do have a glass lid on top of the tank that's the reason it's all fogged up

what size is the tank? with the proper heat source, (heat emitter / heat tape / heat pad), and a covered glass top you should easily be able to maintain 80 in an area. If the glass on top is all fogged up you have more than enough humidity as well. You may want to think of a new location for your tank that is a bit warmer, room temp wise.

The room temp is 72 it's prob the warmest room in the house

The room my frogs are in is kept at 65 degrees. I am able to maintain a 90 degree warm side and 82 degree ambient. If your room is 72 degrees (which is very warm for room temp, at least in the north east where im from) and you cannot achieve 80 degrees there is a problem lol

Oh it may also be important to note, I surround my enclosures with hard insulation from home depot, styrofoam works as well. it helps to keep my temps in. ALOT like, i can swing the temps 10 degrees with the insulation and thats just where my thermostats stop.

Hmm what are you using for your heat source and how big is ur tank cuz I have 2 heat pads plus at 45w light and I can't get past 80 could the temps be the reason my pac has been acting to odd?

There must be something wrong with your gauges then. If the glass is fogged up then the humidity should be fine(like Mikey said) not only that, but with 2 heat pads(UTH) and a 45 watt bulb you should be reaching temps higher than 80. I only have one heat pas on the side of my tanks and have 50 watt basking light and have no insulation around my tanks and I can achieve temps much higher than 80 if I like. We keep our thermostat for the apartment at 75. You could try and place a space heater within the room your frog is in. Raise the ambient air temps in the room a bit.

What type of bulb are you using?
