You can also cover the top of the keeper with Saran Wrap to help hold heat and humidity in, but don't cover the vents on the ends to allow circulation.
    What is a UTH? and what exactly is a saran wrap? i am new to pacmans thanks.

    UTH is a Under Tank Heater. Saran Wrap is plastic wrap.

    i have heard that it may cause the bedding to get too hot, with using the UTH i will still need the bulbs with dimmer correct. I do not want to overcook my frog.

    Not when placed on the side of the enclosure. A UTH only causes problems when placed on the bottom. Place a UTH on the side opposite the side with the water dish. Place it just above the substrate level.

    What do you mean above the substrate, you put the heater on top of your substrate, can you post a picture of what you mean? Thanks I am not getting it.
