    Recommend get digital gauges (Walmart has at good $) or at least a glass aquarium floating thermometer ($2 at same place). Those analog gages have huge error swings .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    He means they can be + or - many degrees off of what the tank actually is. I would get a few branches in there too, they will like that.

    And the humidity in the air will mess with them and they will start reading WAY off.

    You have a heating pad in the tank" or on the outside of the tank?

    Please don't reply multiple times to yourself.

    Sadly there is no GREAT digital ones either. They are better than analog by a large margin, but are still inaccurate. Exo Terra Maxes a brand, but it isn't without it's faults.

    I have 2 on each of my tanks, a nat geo brand and an exo terra (a little overkill.) I prefer the Nat geo.

    I wasnt replying to myself i was asking each of you which brand of digital temperature/humidity gauges you use, i figured itd be better to ask two people rather than just one. Sorry.

    Okay thanks!
