    Smile Heating Tank - Red Eye

    I have a terrarium that's small and vertical. I think it's a 10 gallon, not too sure. The contents of it are as follows (bottom to top):
    -Clay aggregate bottom to absorb the moisture
    -Soil
    -Sphagnum moss
    -Two live plants

    The humidity and temperatures seem to be okay as long as I am misting (70-80F) (60-90%). However, I am planning on using my air conditioner soon as the weather is getting increasingly hotter. I've tried using a 50 watt "night time" bulb, but he still seems to be bothered by the light. I am thinking of using a heating pad, but not sure if it would be effective/where I would need to place it. Any suggestions? I don't want to kill him from the cold air conditioner. I've attached a picture of the terrarium.

    Your posted temps are a bit low for daytime; try 78-82F with drops to 71-75 at night). If frog is stressed by moonlight bulb, could try with a red one, since frogs can't see red.

    Heat mats are inefficient when located on the enclosure side (required) and usually used as a complementary heat source. If using can attach to either side outside the enclosure. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
