    Yeah, being able to dry out is just as important as access to water- I personally believe that an overly damp enclosure is one of the biggest causes of infectious disease among captive frogs. Even semiaquatic species like bullfrogs frequently bask on warm, dry rocks and logs for extended periods of time. Grab a frog before it leaps into the water, and you'll probably be surprised by how dry and sticky they let their skin get.

    Ok so just add more holes in the plexi glass and add a computer fan and thats good? And what about uvb for these frogs how much do they need and will the glass affect it?

    UV can't go through glass. I would really use a screen lid, for that reason and superior ventilation.
