I'm wondering if this isn't an accurate measurement method. I looked at Walmart at the ones you stick in and float, but those had a bunch of stuff in them that made me nervous for my frogs. Any suggestions on other thermometers?
The plastic one I have that sticks to the glass via magnet always reads super high. The most accurate ones I've seen are the glass ones, but I bet digital ones are the most accurate (these are somewhat expensive).

There are a lot of benefits for having a 10 gallon tank for these frogs though, more water always = better.
