Heat

[Leefrogs]

if you have a dome reflector it should have a sticker on the inside. There two different sizes that take diff wattages. But just go get a grow light. And u can buy a clamp desk lamp for your night glow. Heat does come from that. I spent a month switchbg bulbs back and forth, just got a clamp light with flexible neck for 8$ instead of another 20$ dome.

And u can mount the heat pad to one side, I've heard it works better that way.

Thanks everyone for your imput! Considering I don't have much $ at the moment, I'm going to use the bulb I have for the bit of extra heat, get a thermometer and see what the tank temperature is with that. If I need more heat, I'll buy what is necessary from there.

you can use a human heating pad that you might have around the house. If you buy one make sure it doesn't have an automatic shut off. Older ones don't have that. Low heats to 90 on the glass. All dependabt on your room temp, and if the pad is against the wall. Just letting you know cause the frog UTH start at 20 and go way up to 80$!!

Here in ohio we have some cold winters, and to top that my room and where my frogs are is in the basement. :/ the room temp only gets to 65°f if I'm lucky. For now. This month I'll be relocating and things will also warm up.

Anyhow, I have two pads and two night lights. One light is 50w and the two little heat pads run 24/7. Its a bigger viv so it kindof needs it. the other night bulb is 25w and is coupled with my grow lights. With all of that my temps peak at 81-83°f

Oh yea, under my eggcrate falsebottom I have a 75w aquarium heater. Its set for 90°f but only gets the water to 75°f. And there's about 4.5 gallons of water in there circulating.

Oh that's a good idea with the water! I am really worried to leave anything on at night or if I am not home. I might get a heat pad for the side of the tank but since they're not really re stickable I'll probably wait until she gets her new tank. I noticed my night time little 25 watt bulb is doing a good job. I put my hand in and I can tell it is a few degreese warmer in the tank than outside of it.
