    Looking at your enclosure I see your gauges at the top. they should be about an inch above the substrate in the center of the back wall so you can get a more accurate reading of humidity levels and temps down just above substrate level where the frog is. You won't get an accurate reading of how condition are on the ground where the frog lives if the gauges are up in the air. I like your setup it looks very comfy for her.

    thanks for the complement on the set up. the plants are fake as i know pacmans can be brutal with trampling. that gauge is the only gauge thats on the top. its the one for humidity, i put it there before i realized the lower portion of the tank was the place to put them. it has a sticky back so the only way its coming off is if it never gets stuck to anything again. its there pretty securely, so i just leave it. however her infrared temp setter has a gauge that i suction to the bottom portion as well as the thermometer. as far as spraying her, i was only softly misting her, and i would NEVER use distilled. i only use polland spring and once in a blue as a back up, i use tap water that has been treated for chlorine with a solution AND by sitting for 48 hrs or more
    shes must be a female because shes so much attitude lol
    shes pretty tolerant of me, once in a blue if my hand is in the tank adjusting something or catching crickets to replace in front of her shell start the process of burying herself so ill just leave it at that cover her and give her her space than shell stop burying and relax. my only real thing is trying to get her to stop using the bathroom under ground so i can clean it. but as long as i keep reg. maintenance on her tank i think itll be fine. i think i may put her on the scale so i can keep track of her weight to make sure shes doing alright and groing strong. My wife seems to think shes plumped up a bit in the month shes been home.

    Yeah you won't be able to restick that gauge if you take it off. Usually they will change holes if they poop in them. You can always check for poop when she unburies. You have to remove waste daily or weekly depending on how often your frog goes. She doesn't look of a bad weight. Could maybe usle a little more plumping but she looks good. Mine like to be tucked in, in the morning when its time for them to sleep.
