    It really depends on what kind of tree frog you're looking to get. If you're looking at greys specifically, I keep mine between 68 and 75 Degrees F but they can handle a pretty wide range of temps. Other types of tree frogs will have different needs.

    EDIT - I keep my greys around 60% humidity, sometimes down to 50% in the winter. Again though, different tree frogs will have different needs. Greys just come from such a wide range that they can tolerate more. Other tree frogs are less forgiving.

    No problem You could keep them in the 70's and around 50-60% humidity also then. Really, I just have a water area and mist the tank in the evenings to keep the humidity at a decent level.

    We keep the house at 68 any ideas on bringing that temp up just a few degrees? Or is a che and a dome with dinner still the most recommended ? I plan on a cork bark background, plastic hanging plants on the sides and coconut coir on the bottom if it makes a difference.

    My idea was maybe a heat mat on the outside being the cork bark
