    Thanks! They tend to go up there in the afternoon, and leave the area in the evening. I think that all reptiles and amphibians should have a good temperature gradient, as its really natural for them. What I find really cool is that they get brighter in color as they get hotter. Feel free to pm me and ask questions!

    Hey guys

    Thanks for the input.

    My whole "test/research" has been going on for four mobths. Heat wose, Giggs has lowest point around 75 and highest at around 85 and at night lowest drops to about 68 and highest goes about 75. Got that part figured out. Hes happy! Moisture wise, same idea. Got his favorite range and keeping him up there. But thats beside the point.. lol

    When i clean his cage, its ligh outside still. I put him in a cricket keeper on my counter as its decently warm there and he always happens to be in the light. Soon as the light hits him, he goes green! Thats why i think my light isnt sufficient for his needs.

    Happy to hear what ive been thinking for set up and bulbs arent a bad idea.

    Can you put a compact fluorescent into any regular basket hanging light? I would rather try that first beside i spend crazy amount on a couple other set ups for lighting.. As my gastrotheca Riobambea are going to get the same..?

    Thanks
