Heat mat question. Plus others

[bshmerlie]

As with any Albino it would be extremly rare in nature so I am sure they breed for them based on the gene. The HygroTherm is available on Ebay and you may be able to find someone to ship overseas for you. Also many of the larger reptile supply companies carry them and may be willing to ship it to you as well. I swear by them simply because I like to go on vacations and don't have anyone to watch my frogs. This way I don't worry about my babies while I'm gone.

Interesting Might have another hunt around fro one

At the minute im running a Habistat temperature controller, good little stat, thats on the heatmat. And for controlling humidity, i've got the fogger set to come on for 15 minutes each hour. Should I reduce this to once every 2 Hours? It does seem a bit much. I just wouldn't want the humidity to get too dry!

Just be real careful with keeping the humidity that high. I have heard of many people who have lost entire clutches of new babies due to bacterial infections because the humidity was too high. It really isn't necessary to keep it that high and there are definately risks if you do. There are some members here on the forum that breed them and they could probably give you a better humidity range for the stage that your frogs are in. Like I said I keep mine around the 50-70% range...hopfully others with chime in on what they think.

I'll have to have a think about that then. Don't want to lose the little guys!

I have 2 Hygrometers in the tank.. One quite high up, the other at ground level. The higher up one reads 90-77% whilst the floor one seems to read more or less consistently 66-70%
