Temperature!

I also recommend the heat pad. It will also raise the humidity, if you have the top closed off. The heating pad needs to go under the tank so the frogs will get belly heat to aid in digestion like Roman mentioned. Also light bulbs will heat the tank, but they tend to dry the tank out.

Lol no... thats not what I meant. You put the pad under the tank but just on one side of it. That way the frog can choose what temp he/she really wants.

U can aim light near two sides of glass also. This heats the glass and has a longer raidiating effect. Heat mat is way to go, but if u need a couple degrees and have mat off this may work. My glass gets to 90.

Okay thanks guys, and how much do these heating pads go for? But i've heard that the heating pad can cause burns to the bellies of frogs. Do you have the pad running for 12 hours a day or 24hr a day?

[Leefrogs]

the cheepest pad you'll find is 20$ and for a 10 gal. I leave mine on and my temps stay at 70 at night(usually) and with full spectrum and basking bulb and human heating pad I get up to 80/85. But it's real cold here. and FYI I have whites tree frogs who need cooling at night

Cheapest heatng pads- CVS 12x15 in, $16 with NO auto shut off. It is a CVS brand.

It's getting hard here to find those heat pads WITHOUT auto shut off.
I always get employees saying," but this one is a higher quality" and blah blah blah.
The human heat pads are better IMO. You get more for about the same price or less than the "reptile designed" ones. In fact most of my herp supplies are bought at Home Depot.LOL Most of the herp stuff sold at pet stores is a load of **** anyway not to mention the prices, INFLATED. hahahahahaha
