Knot - I see my time with you when you first started wasn't very effective. I realize you are reading books which should be an accurate source of knowledge but it totally is not in this case. I really have to second the notion that you need to please know you are giving good advice before you give it. As has been said, frogs have to have a light source and heat source and heat lamps are the best way to accomplish this for several reasons. One, heat pads on the sides of glass heat the glass and treefrogs climb on glass and are esily burned. Two, if you bury a pad under substrate it won't be as likely to burn your frog but it will be "underground" and treefrogs do not go to the ground to search for heat, they go to the sun. So a lamp is much more natural and appropriate. Lamps may dry things a bit more but you don't want wet or too humid conditions anyways. A simple misting of the tanks will easily keep conditions where they should be.

I'll post the link below to my site. Hope this helps.
