    Hey Grif, in your opinion where is the optimal place for the hygrotherm sensor in the enclosure?

    Dead center of the back wall of the tank 1 1/2" above the substrate. I just noticed where yours are. The gauges need to be down where your frog lives. They're terrestrial not arborial.

    Temp gauge should be in the same place. you get a better overall reading this way.

    Hey Grif, would a constant 75° 24/7 be acceptable? I got another uth to stick on the side and i am now achieving 75 with only it, according to the hygrotherm. i dont really like the idea of a CHE running with no one home...

    The Hygrotherm will turn the CHE on and off to achieve correct temps. 75° is too cool. They must have a daytime temp no less than 80° and it is best at night to stay in the high 70°s. You are going to have to make sacrifices if you want to keep your frog healthy. If your so worried about a fire buy a Thermostat to hook the UTH up to and let the Hygrotherm control the CHE. You are worrying too much. These products are safe to use and leave running. As long as used as directed by the instructions which I keep repeating. I'm not sure if you just don't believe me or you're so worried that its not getting through.

    Follow the advice that is given it is solid.
