Help starting tank

Got ya well i live in Pennsylvania and we have hot summers and really cold winters but would a heater be ok because i know my room doesnt hit 85+ degrees at anytime

Oh, no.... When I said 85+, it was for the humidity level. Your frogs will be ok at 75. If you want to use a heater, go ahead, just make sure it doesn't become too hot.

Jordan, I apologize for the delay in answering. It's really great to hear feedback like yours. It is a great bunch of folks here, and I couldn't agree more.

I use a ReptiFogger only in the R. ventrimaculatus' enclosure. It's great to help maintaining humidity, and when you go on vacation. But make sure you keep on misting at least twice a day with dechlorinated water. Foggers won't actually do all the job needed for darts.

As for the Hygrotherm, I use the Exo Terra. basically, it's a meter that will take both humidity and temperature levels. I still prefer to use separate meters as I think they give better readings. And digital readers for me are the way to go.

Now will this actually allow you to change the temperature and humidity or just read it?

[clownonfire]

It will just read the levels. I don't use temp/humidity controllers. For the humidity, you want it high. So it's not an issue. With the temperature, well, that's another issue, but as we said, most darts will be happy at room temperature.

I have my ReptiFogger on a timer. 6 times a day, 15 minutes each time.

ok thanks a bunch do you fog it at all at night is it all in day time?

[clownonfire]

I have it running all day, so each 4 hours, day and night. 15 minutes intervals.
