I have talked to "newer" members and they seemed to be under the impression that misting is not just for humidity purposes but that the frogs "needed" the water.
My stance was of hypothetical nature: that the misting was for the humidity, not a specific need of the frogs directly and you could potentially go months without misting, even if everything "looked dry" as long as the humidity was still high enough. (High enough being 60/70% plus) ... correct? Comments?
I bring this up only bc the subject of "misting" isnt discussed enough IMO. We all know that it needs done, but for newer members, it hasnt really been explained in terms of proper technique and reasons.
So I am starting this thread to jump start a discussion on proper misting techniques, purpose/reasons, and to basically educate newer people to the hobby on the misting aspect of our vivariums, bc as I have stated already, this is a topic that isnt discussed enough.
So ... What are some important things that you all think a new member should know about misting?
Thanks.
