Getting there...

[GrifTheGreat]

Ok so I have had my thermo/hygrostat going with a 40w day glo bulb and a 40w moonlight bulb (blue). My temps got up to 82 degrees for the daytime but when I switched off the day glo bulb I was only managing 73 degrees for the night time temps. I can upgrade the blue bulb to a 50w easily though. So I guess Im asking if anyone thinks that the extra 10w will be enough to bring me up to 77 degrees for the night temps? I have a uth that was constantly running for day and night. I dont have the frog yet because Im just trying to sort this night time issue out but I think I will be ready soon! #EXCITED!

Use Infrared bulbs at night. 50 watts.

Hey folks,

So I got a new 50w bulb and the night temp has gone up to 77-79. So I guess Im ready to take the next step. Im just about to order the rest of the stuff I need like substrate, water dish, vitamins, calcium, food, water and conditioner etc etc. However I am going away for a 2 week excavation on june 22, but after I get home guess who is getting a froggy?

For substrate make sure it matches your planned frog requirements because some are an impaction hazard. If available, recommend CA & vitamin supplements from Repashy or ReptoCal. Food can wait if getting frogs on late June, unless starting a culture of roaches, worms, etc. Get conditioner that also detoxifies heavy metals but has no aloe or emollients for fish. Good luck !
