    Default Re: Heating

    Ya the UTh's aren't the best way to heat a terrarium for frogs, and as I stated earlier you almost always have to go up a size from what your tank actually is. Even with the 2 UTH's on my ten I had to build a box around the 3 sides to keep the heat in. Do you have any of the screen top covered? If not you can cover the top with tinfoil and cut a hole out of it about 1/2 an inch to an inch bigger then your light and it will help keep heat and humidity in. The area cut out around the light will allow air to flow in and out of the tank. Uvb can hurt them because being albino there skin is so much more sensitive that it can almost burn there skin or eyes. Its the same as if you see an albino kid in the summer outside playing, he will be caked in sunblock or will be the only kid wearing pants and long sleeve top because he sunburns almost instantly. Would be the same for the albino frog.
    And if you go to a dollar store you can find suction cups with hooks and you can just hang the plant off the hook.
