For some reason, my pacman frog keeps turning a little bit of a white/gray color where he's normally green. He go to white/gray and then back to green. He's been eating and pooping regularly, but I'm just curious if anyone can tell me what they think of it.
Thanks,
Bailey

Your setup sounds ok except for humidity, you can let come down some. You don't want it over 80 for long periods of time or below 60, I find with mine 75% is pretty good. When you say you use tap water would you happen to have a water softner? I'm editing this now, do you give Calcium and D3 or just that other vitamin?
I don't know I'm stumped, if your thinking it has something to do with light maybe try a different brand and see what happens. When i was asking about the water i was thinking if you had a water softener that you add salt into and your not bypassing it maybe the high salt content in the water was effecting his skin. But ya from answers to those questions you seem to be doing everything right so I don't know what to think, maybe one of the moderators will come on in the next day or so and may have some suggestions.
