Absolutely. Better to have it all right before you add a frog into it for sure!

Gonna go try an get a refund for the petco gauges i got. And buy a nat geo digital one.

I just bought a Nat Geo one. It seems to be working pretty well, but I only use it to make myself feel better I really just look at the conditions of the plants and use that to help me determine whether it's humid enough or not. I feel like my plant based margin would be +- 10% and Bill's is probably +-0.5% lol.

Lol. Well thats cool that youre good with plants. I think i would be too. But honestly ive never tried it. If i were to add a live plant to the terrarium i want to make sure i know how to treat plants first. I ended up being able to get a refund for the analog types. I bought a digital temperature/humidity gauge on amazon. A lot of the ones i looked at didnt have great reviews or ratings. I got the one with the best reviews and rating. 69 people rated it five stars, the second lowest was 29 votes for 4 stars so i think itll be pretty good. The reviews were good too. I only saw one complaint and it said it was off by 2 degress or something, not a big deal. Ill have that by wednesday. I think ill order the frog wednesday too then because i want to be sure everythings set up and working properly before i have the frog. If i order wednesday ill get him the next day, thursday. I think ill get pinheads wednesday so i can gut load them 24 hours before feeding. If he will even want to eat the first day moving in. Im going to give him a while to settle in before i try. let him in his cage during the day, leave him alone, and try feeding him at night.

Got my humidity/temperature gauge! its very accurate, i put it beside the one we have in our living room and it was the same exact temp. Not sure how accurate the humidity would be since the one in our living room is only for temperature. But considering how accurate it was for the temp, id think its quite accurate for the humidity as well. Right now im testing to see how it works in the cage. I misted, put a uv lamp on, put on the heating pad. Gonna see what works best, will try different lights, turn the heating pad off, cover more or less of the screen top. whatever. Just gonna try different combinations to see what sets the temp at 76-78 and what sets the humidity at 70-80. Ill do another test tonight when the lights go out. Will probably just need a heating pad alone. Now im waiting for the 1000 crickets i ordered to arrive. And waiting for the other half of my money to transfer to paypal. Then i will finally be able to get him!!!! being so patient here. Or at least trying. Lol.
