just make sure that it is cleaned and the water changer daily. i dont know who said to get one as i dont like them and have always been adviced to stay away from them. they are a breading ground for bacteria and a mass grave to crix! there is no filtration in them so the water goes off very quickly.

i don't see how the water can go off quickly, it only takes 8 hours for them to run dry if you only put it in the bottom compartment..

but i do concur on the no idea who would recommend one because my vews are theyre up there with chocolate fire guards, and glass hammers in the usefulness stakes.

IMO they are fine, depending on what species it is for etc...

it is for a red eyed tree frog and the purpose is to keep the humidity around 65%-80%

realy, then thats even worse as surley a pump with no water will burn out.

IMO it doesnt make a difference what species its for as bad water and bacteria is not good for any amphibian.

regular cleaning is a must, remember a pump only circulates water, a filter cleans it.
