Humidity queries

Sasha is right. For terrestrial frogs, place it about an inch or two above the substrate level. For arboreal, place it at the level they most reside, along their plant mid to tops.

Thank you Ladies, very helpful.



I have more questions – here’s one.



Tomorrow I will populate my 4th terrarium with 2 x juvenile Golden Mantella [Mantella aurantiaca]. Because of their size ~10mm they are eating springtails, pinhead crickets and melanogaster fruitflies. To eliminate handling and to get them quickly acclimatized I wish to feed them in their new home rather than in a ‘feeding box’. They will be housed in a 30cm x 30cm x 45cm [height] Exo Terra terrarium.

From my limited experience I know that even 'giant' fruit flies will escape these terrariums so does anyone have any suggestions on 'fly-proofing' - I'm setting up my final 5 terrariums, most of which are to house dart frogs, so unless I'm careful I'll be in the market for spiders!!
