Noob In Need of a Frog!

[GrifTheGreat]

Well you MUST maintain proper temps or the frogs will eventually become ill and die. Their Kidneys and Lymphearts will suffer damage. You will not be able to place the space heater pointed at the tanks or their will be to much heat buildup inside the tank. Try using a heat lamp and see if that helps, but you might want an entirely metal lid as well.

Hopefully you can solve this problem quickly. They must have temps from 78° to 82° to remain healthy. If kept at anything lower for extended periods their will be health problem.

What if you could somehow heat a much larger box of some sort and put the smaller enclosures inside that, also with heat tape on the back or side? I'm thinking a large fish tank such as a 55 gallon. 75 would be better. You could heat the 75 gallon with a ceramic heat emmitter from the top in the center, cover most of the top with tin foil or saran wrap, put the smaller enclosures inside also with supplemental heat (that I think you would still need. Perhaps the background temp in the 75 gallon would come up to like 70 and then you would be dealing with a "normal" ambient temperature.

Good luck,

OR what about putting them in the bathroom and heating the bathroom with a space heater. If there is room in there for them that might be your best bet. The benefits of the added humidity when you shower would be good too. Just a thought.
