    Ok. Thanks! I have been keeping mine around 70 (I just went for middle of the range I kept seeing). Having almost lost my frog to a serious illness (I don't believe it was related to humidity) I am now really paying attention to all the details so he (and I) never have to go through that again. Does anyone have a favorite humidity gauge - brand or type? I had to replace everything in my frogs house and the news humidity gauge I got stinks. Its one of those dial ones. I guess I should spring for the probe kind?

    Glad Olive has resolved her issue.

    I use a zoo med hygrotherm. It's digital and it controls both the temp and the humidity. It's been a godsend for me! It's a little expensive but it's well worth the money.

    I am SO ready for winter to be over with here! My apartment is a humidity EATER. I made sure the humidifier was working when I went to bed and when I woke up it was out of water...it's a 12 gallon home humidifier! Which meant when I looked at my frogs this morning (after sleeping in) their humidity was at 44%! My fogger had a little glitch and wasn't pumping water out. Olive is sitting on the bottom of the tank. She looks like she's sitting on the substrate but she might be sitting on a leaf. As I type this I'm preparing a little bath for her. Hopefully I can get her out of the tank without stressing her too much, she's in the most hidden spot of the tank.

    Its the opposite for me. I live in a warm humid climate, so during the "winter" I keep the windows open and the humidity is on the higher side. During summer, I have to keep the house closed up and the air on, so it's much drier. Still not that dry tho! I'm from the North east, so I do understand dry, cold winter but I didn't have a frog when I lived there.

    My unhappy girl this morning, during and after her bath! She's now sleeping up high on her mushroom ledge.

    She's a good lookin' lady. I love the creases in their skin, especially when they turn their heads to look at ya.
