    Default I'm slightly panicking, please help (Cuban Tree Frog)

    Okay so, not so funny story.

    I used to have two fire bellied toads, had them for about five years. A couple of days ago they died, and I was absolutely devastated. I knew I couldn't live without having a frog so, I went out the next day to find one. Originally, I wanted a White's Tree Frog but shipping when ordering online was just way too much, and none of the pet stores had them in.

    When I talked to the associate, he started showing me different Tree Frogs and he took out a Cuban Tree Frog. I fell in love with her (They told me it's a her but now after my recent incidents of information I'm wondering if that is even correct.).

    I asked about her care and they told me I wouldn't have to change anything other than giving her branches with the enclosure. (Meaning heating and humidity remains the same as it was for the firebellies).

    Luckily, when I got home I did some research and found that the desired heat for this frog is way more than I had for my firebellies!!

    So, what I'm asking is how in the hay do I get this heat to go up higher and stay there! I'm also really struggling keeping the humidity up too. I have water layered at the bottom of the tank for her to soak in, yet that still doesn't seem to be enough to keep this humidity up. I do mist the tank two times a day as well.

    I've tried to upload pics but it will not let me so here's the frog

    Are you using a heat lamp? You might want to get one that can hold a high wattage bulb or ceramic heat emitter. If you do end up getting a heating pad, make sure it's NOT touching anything with water on it, it can crack the glass.

    Yes it is a heat lamp. I was thinking about a heating pad but I've heard before about the glass cracking which is why I was extremely iffy about it. Will it still work if stuck on the back of the tank and not at the bottom?

    I would prefer ​to stick with a heat lamp but am unsure about what wattage of bulb I need.
