Humidity problem please help?

I was told not to use a heat lamp or ceramic heat emitter due the very issue you're dealing with. The thing heat well but ultimately dries out the air as well which is why you are having to spray so often. My son's pac has an eight watt heater on bottom and 4 watt on same side. I have found that we only need to spray once maybe twice (rarely) a day.

to be fair i have UTH too on the cages i've used them before and i didn't reach the temperatures needed for frogs which is 80 ish and also having UTH on the bottom is not safe for the frogs they naturally burrow to avoid heat so having heat there kinda desyncs them and can burn them that why i have the lamps.

As Lanky mentioned, heaters under the tank are not a good idea for pacman frogs since they burrow to cool off. High temperature is necessary for the frogs to properly digest their food and if you don't provide that for him, he can have problems later on.

It's so crazy because there is so many contradictions. My guy burrows by the heater and the non heater side. I have different temp gradients throughout the tank and the uth is on a thermostat and not always on

I use a ceramic heater and just pour water into the tank until the bottom layer is moist, it tries quickly enough to prevent mold and stuff. If the frog has a water bowl they'll sit in it if they need to soak.

So update my I've tryed paper towels and moss now on the opposite side of where my frogs nest themselves and my cages are still dry i now water my terrariums 3-4 times a day and i have 5 tanks now it is crazy the only thing i have no tryed yet is pexelglass because idk where i would get nor how much it would cost. any other tips?

My PacMan is in a 10-gallon glass enclosure. I use Ecco-Earth as the substrate. I do have Moss at one end of the enclosure, but it is a small amount of moss. I use a spray-bottle to increase the humidity. I also have a thermometer/hygrometer in the tank to monitor Temps and Humidity Levels. I have a Flukers 5.5" fixture, and use a Daytime 40w bulb. The light fixture has a dimmer, and this works perfectly. My Humidity levels are maintained and the temps are 77-80 degrees during the day. Humidity level is 72%.
