I'll explain. We dont have humidity in alberta, average humidity in summer is about 30-40% if we're lucky, in winter at home it is at 10-20%, so it makes AB climate perfect for waxies, not for me though and i have humidifiers in almost all rooms + central. Lol
In ontario it is opposite, if im not mistaken you have average of 60-70%, that is way too much for waxies. It is always easier to plug in fogger, increase misting if needed then to lower humidity. That is your main problem. With any frog it is a matter of knowing what they need, and once you achieve it is not that difficult. You're right on heating lamps day and night, but you will need different ones for day and night, for 2 males sauvagii they can live in 18x18x24, but if you have females, for 2 you need to go with 24x18x24 or bigger.

milks are easier, because you dont need to add heating, they're fine in lower then waxies need temps, you dont need to increase humidity by much if you live where you do. Milks are considered easier because they are typical tree frogs, thus typical principles apply, with waxies everything is different - in higher then 40% humidity, luck of UVB and in general sunlight, in luck of ventilation and small space they wont survive. But if you really want to get sauvagii, plan on getting at least 2. I can guide you step by step how to set up everything.
As much as i love other frogs, but waxies are by far my favourite!

The humidity in you general area will not be the same inside of an enclosure with heat lamps. Heat lamps dry out the air. Get digital thermometers/ hydrometers to measure you temps and humidity inside the cage.
