hey
thanks for the quick reply, i have put in a plastic aquarium lid to stop the frogs sitting inside the wooden lid, (where i could not see them), i could drill more holes in the lid, but im not sure how much it will help,
thanks
Lee

What is the set up.

I have Exo Terras with mesh tops. So I can regul;ate the humidity by covering them.

hey, the tank is a glass tank about 70-30 land to water (the water is shallow), i have just got the plastic lid to drill more holes and the main lid is wooden with 3 large air vents on the top.
should there be a problem with humidity in it?
i think it is the plastic aquarium lid that is causing high humidity
cheers

I guess that you could build a frame and cover it with some mesh so that air exchange can take place. This wasn't a problem before you put the plasic lid in place.

I don't think that the humidity should be an issue for the frog.

What sort of hydrometer are you using to measure the humidity?
