I'm not 100% satisfied with the tank (I would like a mister to maintain humidity) BUT it's a far cry from where we started.
    Foggers seem to work best, buts misters can be used if hooked up to an environmental control unit or timer. I would try and find a way to place the light outside the tank so there is no way the frog can burn itself by jumping into the hot bulb. You can direct it so that it shines down through the wire mesh lid and still gain adequate heat from it.

    Just finding out how expensive misters and foggers are! Yes I thought the bulk sat low in the tank might be a problem I just couldn't figure anything else out but I've just ordered the exo canopy with a 40w night (blue) bulb

    You can alternate between bulbs for day and night. Red for day and moonlight for night.

    That would be lovely but I can't find the (slim) canopy lights in red they only seem to do white and blue?
