your method of heating?

Hello everyone, I was just wondering how the experts heat their frog habitats. I've always had a lot of trouble heating mine and tried UTHs with no success(not enough heat) and currently use a ceramic heat emitting bulb. However with this trouble I've come across is how to heat the terrarium without quickly and excessively drying the substrate. I can't mist every hour which seems like what it would take. I have a reptifogger but that doesn't actually moisten the substrate (coco fiber by the way). please offer your suggestions! I've spent hundreds on a $30 frog and I love having it and am willing to buy whats necessary but just don't want to keep wasting money

Im in the same boat myself. I have UTH but I really don't see results with them. I am using a lamp (50w) to heat my tank and I have to mist as well due to its drying out the substrate. I had to get a bit "MacGuyver-ish" and made a humidifier but the substrate acts as an insulator and heats to well over 100 degrees.

its good to know I'm not the only one, even though its unfortunate. my problem is not being able to get it hot enough, my 40 watt ceramic only puts it around 70, and its sitting on top of the tank

Buy this Zoo Med HygroTherm Humidity and Temperature Controller:Amazon:Pet Supplies and this Zoo Med Reptile Fogger Terrarium Humidifier:Amazon:Pet Supplies and it should solve the humidity and climate fluctuations.

I use a UTH on the side of the tank and a clamp lamp that has a dimmer switch with 50 watt basking light bulb for day(not for Albinos) and a 50 watt infrared for night.
