    yeah i like infrared the most, but the annoying part is having to replace them every 2-3 month or so, i wish i could find something more energy saving, longer lasting and allowing fine tuning of temps.
    82 day, 78 night, huh? Sounds good. I'll lower my temps to that. Some people, on this forum I've seen, keep them 85 to 90 degrees during the day. 90 is, methinks, is a bit too hot though. But then you seem pretty knowledgable on the subject so I'll take your word for it. Thanks.

    90 is actually the max humidity level that these frogs should have and only occational spikes that high. They can handle a range of humidity levels, but nothing below 60% and nothing higher than 90%. Ideal levels are as was mentioned above. Temps should stay in the low 80°s during the day and 72° to 78° at night. They live in many locations and climates throughout South Africa and in some of these places it can get pretty cool at night. Just be sure not to have large fluctuations in the frog's climate and it will be fine.

    Everyone else has you covered.
