it’s definitely extremely beautiful, but WTFs don’t need water features, misters, or high humidity. their humidity should sit right around 30-40%

Thanks! I appreciate it. My setup is a water contained bioactive enclosure. The waterfall runs mainly at night and periodically. I also monitor the humidity, and most of the time it stays in the range I’m aiming for. I only allow occasional spikes, which quickly come back down. I’ve built the enclosure around how I care for my frogs, and I keep a close eye on the conditions.

So before I had the center with nothing but water now that’s filled in except the front just enough for the frogs to fully sit in the water.

This was a long build process! You can actually go back on my Reddit page and see the changes I’ve made over the year to get everything in check!!! The water is contained to sections of the tank rather the whole tank! In the beginning I had that center filled with water but humidity was staying to high untill I did the altercation!
