    It's best to put the thermometer directly under the heat source just to make that's not too hot there and for the hygrometer, I've found those ones to be innacurate and you don't need one anyway. Horned frogs are from arid places so are able to estivate in dry conditions and breed in wet, so are quite adaptable with humidity. A good rule is too simply keep the substrate not wet or dry but moist

    The rule for substrate that most horned frog keepers follow is if you pick up the substrate and squeeze it you want it to clump together in your hand but not have water dripping of it. This is a great way to gauge the moist but not to wet that Jason mentioned, hopes this helps abit.
