Welcome to the forum Skippy!
You should get a fake plant or two. They really like having cover to burrow under and be shaded by. Also, try covering the back and side with some sort of background to reduce stress.
Sorry, I had to watch the video with the sound off... I'm at work and if I turn the sound on my boss might just notice that I'm sitting at my desk watching frog videos! But I'll watch it With sound when I get home. Very nice looking frog!
Thanks!
Also just to help you out before an issue arises. Your gauges need to be in the dead center of the back wall no more than 1.5" above the substrate to get a more accurate reading of the enclosures ambient air temp and humidity levels. I didn't see a hygrometer. If you don't have one get one. You need to know the humidity level. it should be maintained at 80% but can be ok at 70% to 75% but no lower. UVB is not necessary. Albino Pacman Frogs can be burned by the UVB radiation and also go blind from too much exposure. You can use a calcium supplement that contains Vitamin D3 to provide the D3 needed to metabolize the calcium to bone. Use incandescent bulbs, but only Infrared or Moonlight Blue as these bulbs do not harm the Albinos sensitive skin and eyes.
Cover 3/4 of your screen top with either plexiglass or Saran Wrap to hold in heat and humidity. Leave an opening so that the lamp can sit on the lid and not be on the plastic wrap. Cut a hole in the plastic wrap about 2" by 4" on both ends to assist in air circulation. You should offer him more food. Instead of feeding only every 4 days offer food every 2 days because she is not getting enough nutrition. Crickets are not very nutritious even when gut loaded. Try offering her night crawlers from a pet store or Wal-Mart. Make sure they are chemical and dye free. Night Crawlers are very nutritious and make an excellent staple food. They also are much easier to digest and pose no risk of impaction.
I hope this information helps you provide a pristine home and diet for your girl.
PS, You're right she is not a true Albino, but only half. She is what's called Amelanistic. She's very nice.
Thanks again!
