    You will need a UTH to place on the side of the tank. Opposite side from the water dish. 76 is ok for nigbt tim temps, but during the day you want to stay around 79° to 80° at the lowest and 82° to 85° at the highest. Stick to 81° or 82° during the day and all is well. Night temps can be 75° to. 78° at best. A heat source for tropical species is very important. Lija has you covered with your feeders and supplements.

    Thanks, I've read some conflicting things on UTH's though with how they can hurt my frog or something, can you tell me how i'd set it up?

    Yes it could hurt a frog if you place uth under tank, it will warm up a substrate and jt will destruct natural environment, frogs burrow not only to feel more safe but to cool themselves if want to, but more importantly a frog may burn itself on it. You dont't want any of that to happen. That is why Grif said to place it on a side. Keep in mind you will need a bigger sized heat pad if you want to heat up the tank.

    I personally prefer infrared lamp(50w) +fogger +hydrotherm. This way you can get spot on humidity and temps at any given moment, it is expensive initial investment but it is so worth it
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
