Peacock Ornate Tree Frog, Leptopelis vermiculatus

Hmm, ok I have a full screen top on the cage, should I put a fan next to it? lol he just croaked at me I read that I am supposed to keep the humidity between 50-70%, when I get home from work or wake up in the morning it reads 40% at lowest, is that ok? I usualy spray right away when it shows 40%. Also, what is the best location for the humidifier and thermometer? I have both of them inside the terrarium at the top left on the back part of the glass.

Don't bother with a fan, let it air out on its own. From now on just spray once a day before going to bed. Just don't go nuts and soak him down like you are trying to put out a fire. This how I maintain my treefrogs. I don't worry about the humidity much, I just spray them every night and they are fine.

I have been using store bought gallon drinking water with chlorine remover as instructed by the pet store but my mom works in a laboratory and she can filter gallons of De-Ionized water for me for free, would this be the same thing or better for my frog? Also I have been spraying less and the mold is slowly going away and my frog burrowed under his log hideout the other day lol I have read that this is common for these frogs and this was the first time I have seen him under the log and the first time Ive seen him sleep on the ground and then the day after that I noticed he was sitting in his water dish. I hope this means that he is finally getting comfortable

If your mom can filter the water for free, I would go with that option.
