    Default heating and humidity?

    i just put a winter glove heater that i had laying around and hooked the tubes from the heater up to the tank and the heater is hooked up to a heavy duty thermostat and turns off and on when it reaches the temp and drops a few below the correct temp but since its basically blowing warm air into their tank majority of the day its bringing down the humidity which is frustrating. of course its way more humid on the ground because the dirt is saturated with water and evaporates up a bit. what do i do? btw the temps are the same in each tank (RETF, whites, and eventualy to be milk frogs) I NEED HELP. PLEASE.

    Default heating and humidity?

    Turn off that heater. Find another source. You're just blowing warm, dry air into the enclosure, lowering the humidity. You'll never keep humidity up that way.

    I'd say try a uth placed on the side of the tank, that usually doesn't leach the humidity out
