    Default Heat tolerance for pacific chorus frogs?

    Pseudacris regilla. I know they prefer temperatures in the 60's and 70's F. Can they tolerate spikes into the 80s and 90s? As a lot of you know, much of the US has been under a ridculous heat wave. Even with the ac on, I have trouble getting the temperatures under 85 degrees F. I live on the top floor of an apt building where the black tarred roof acts like a solar panel.

    I'm using ice packs, water changes and fans to mitigate the heat, and so far so good, but I would like to know what I'm dealing with. Anyone know just how much heat tolerance pacific chorus frogs have?

    They should tolerate it for a day or two but not sustained. I would also be careful of heating and cooling them too much with ice packs and stuff. Better to let them get warm for a day or two than to have them yo-yo several times in 2 days.
