Default Temperature Gradient

Hey

Im still trying to get the heating and humidity balanced in my tank, seems to be fairly stable now.

Im just curious if, in your guys' dart frog setups is the whole tank within a few degrees of eachother or do you have a temperature gradient.

Being im heating my tank with heat lamps at the moment my tank will run around 73ish at the bottom and 80ish at the top, is that a big deal?? i can raise the bottom temperature but then of course the top temperature would raise to and i dont really wanna go much hotter then 80.

I thought about just going for a large ceramic heat emitter, but im not sure if they would heat much more evenly or not.

Is a frog smart enough not to sit in the 'hot spot'?
Or would a fan circulate and make the air more the same temperature without affecting humidity to much?
