Humidity trouble with white tree frog

[teslas intern]

Did you try covering half of the lid to restrict airflow? Humidity is caused by water evaporating in the tank, so if you prevent it from escaping, as long as you have both water and heat in the tank the humidity should shoot right up. For example I don't mist and my humidity varies between 40 and 80 percent, averaging around 60. If the tank does up it drops to 40, if I dump a bunch of water on the substrate it'll be 60 or higher.

I should add don't cover the whole top or pestilence can thrive. Whites enjoy it dryer than say red eyes or darts...

I covered half the top of the screen top this morning and I'm going to check in and see how the humidity is after I get home from work normally when I come home from work the humidity is almost at zero. I know all the dry heat being in all the time and being in Massachusetts doesn't help because winter air tends to be dry anyway. I may not have a choice to install a fogger but some require holes in the screen to do that which I don't approve of personally. If covering half of the top of the tank still doesn't help any other suggestions

not quite 100% true. even though the care sheets say 40-60% or something like that, remember that their range goes from almost arid areas bordering the outback to the topical rain forests of indonesia, where conditions are not unlike those of the amazon that's what makes them such wonderful beginner frogs. as long as they are healthy, they will acclimate to such a wide range of habitats, that you can get away with making a few mistakes along the way, and the frogs will be fine care sheets are nothing more than guidelines. i kept my white's in near dart frog conditions and they thrived and never had any issues. they are now happily living with a breeder friend of mine in the same conditions since i moved to darts

I use one under the tank heater and then I have the two daylight bulbs at the top in the deep domes that I also use a uvb 2.0. IWill trying get my hands on some leaf litter I have not seen any in the local pet stores but I'll look a little harder. Is there any leaf litter better than others? Did some quick research and found multiple types of leaf litter. Should I discard it as it breaks down since I dont have a natural set up? as For the top of the tank being covered I did not see any increase in humidity from this morning or any added humidity retention. I am waiting for my digital humidity gauge and thermometer to come in the mail I order them today online. Thank you everybody for all the great ideas I appreciate all the help
