My terrarium is made in plexiglass and according to my combo-thermo/hydrometer it's 85% moist. And I've read that it should be 70% for my Pacman. I wipe inside the enclosure 2-3 times a day cause the moist sticks to the plexiglass, it's not what I would consider "wet" in the substrate, but I'm still worried why there's so much moist in the air and if it can give my frog fungus.
The other question I have is about my heatpad, I actually have it under the plexi bottom of the terrarium (there is space so the heat won't make a fire) it's only a 7w pad, the instructions to it said not to have more than 1 cm substrate covering the heatpad, so I follow that, but then a thought struck me, my frog can't burrow there now can he? ... that seems pointless considering that the heatpad covers 28x28 cm of the frogs space (It's not even half of his space but anyway). I guess what I want answered is why they produce heatpads if you can't use substrate over it? If I put it on the side the heat wouldn't be as effective now would it? Considering heat is ascending.
