over the past week the humididty in my tank has been dropping. Went from 99% to 57%...temp In my tank has gone from 70-75...I think it's from the dry heat coming from my radiator...how can I Rais the humidity and how will I know it's getting to low??? Right now my frogs are out and about acting normal. They areNot sitting in water and their skin still looks wet.

You can put a most towel over the screen, it should help keep the humidity in.

I'll try that. I Have A Glass top. no screen
Hmm, the only thing I can think of is either your humidifier is broken. I would still try the towel if not and see if that helps.

I'll try it. Thanks for the advice
You're hygrometer took a dump. There's no way that tank has only 57% humidity.
Sorry strider, but a moist towel will do nothing to a tank with a glass lid. There's no way for humidity to get in.

Unreliable. That's why I don't use them. Such a waste of cash. Easier to look at the tank ms plants to determine humidity. As least for me, it's easier

Just looking at your glass would indicate that the hygrometer is broken.
Thanks deranged. I'll get a new meter tomorrow.
Flybyferns. Yeah its a 12 high. 18×18.
Vivarium in the mist..it's an all glass enclosure I didn't know if a 60% or 90% humidity would show a big difference on the glass. I was figuring the humidity is Trapped inside the tank and cause moisture no matter what.
Enclosure hygrometers of all brands are famous for misreadings if probe get's wet. In a vivarium, they will most certainly get wet from misting activities. Usually if you air dry them they will start reading again. If so; try and relocate probe to an area away from misters and foggers. Good luck!
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
