Red-Eye Treefrog Proper Temp and Humidity?

I have just acquired 2 Red-Eyed Treefrogs and need some advice on temp/humidity.

I bought the Barron's book on them, checked multiple online caresheets, and am still having problems deciding what to keep them at.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The book tells me 75-85F day temp and doesn't specify humidity levels.
This is what I found on the online caresheets...

Day Temp - 78-85F
Night Temp - 66-77F
Humidity - 80-100%

Day Temp - 75-80F
Night Temp - 70-75F
Humidity - 60-70% min

Day Temp - 76-82F
Night Temp - few degrees cooler
Humidity - 60-100%

Day Temp - 70-75F
Night Temp - few degrees cooler
Humidity - 30-50% during non breeding season, 80% during
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am housing them in an Exo Terra Glass Terrarium 18x18x24

The difference in temps and humidity recommendations is the different keepers experience with these wonderful tree frogs.

I would recommend a good temperature range of 76*-82* with a slight drop at night.

Red Eyes do best at high humidity. shoot for 80% and a little either way will not hurt them.

Good luck with those Red Eyes.

Thank You! I've been experimenting with different temps and humidities and found that to be a pretty accurate measurement. They don't like the lower 70s at all and do demand a higher humidity then 75%. I noticed that I also need to find a better way to circulate air in their habitat. The terrarium I have only has a screen top which is covered by the light fixtures. Anyways, thanks again!

I have exo terras and the new zoo med enclousers as well. with only screen tops, what I have found to work really well with frogs that require good air movement is cieling fans run on low all the time.
