Heat/Humidity frustration

Yep, don't put plastic near a light source. What kind of light do you have? Do you turn it off at night? Instead of a water bowl, try putting water in the tank. Its instant moisture then you would not need a fogger. With your light and fogger you are making more work for yourself. I don't know why people use a bowl instead of adding water to the tank. I thought that was what a tank was for. Frogs and toads like to swim in water, not sit in a bowl. Your frog does not have a choice but to sit. He can't talk to you. Frogs/toads should have the option of being able to swim OR get on land. Mine are happy this way. You should try it, see what your frog does.

hoppity, your's are fbt's, which love to be IN the water. Skitter is a white's tree frog. while they like water, they do not spend much time in it. even with 30 gallons (usable volume) of water in my paludarium, the frogs rarely go in it. sure, they go for a swim now and then, but nothing like fbt's.

Okay, maybe it would like shallow water with alot of land and tree branches and driftwood. Maybe the bowl is not big enough. I know FB's like water and this is a different frog. But if the frog could talk it could speak for itself.

If you are after more humidity (and frog needs to be moist) have a good sized water source and cover the top (not all the way) and keep eco earth damp. I know FB's like water more but if you had enough water and a cover your humidity should go up. The fogger sounds like more work than necessary eventhough you would disagree. I know your frog likes branches. He can't speak so he can't tell you what he prefers. Just try covering your tank with adequate water source, create some moisture, and you may not need fogger. Maybe the light is drying your moisture and your fogger has to replace it.
