Introduction/Some questions
Hey guys. Just picked up my first pacman frog friday however ive been lurking here for a month or two. I just had a few questions to ask to make sure im taking care of him properly, but first heres a pic of him
My first question is about the tank humidity. From what ive researched 80% humidity is ideal, however i cant seem to keep it there for more than 10-15 minutes without it dropping down to 60% or so. I have plastic wrap covering about 2/3 of the screen on top. I have a mister but it seems the only way to keep the humidity at 80% is to mist atleast once every 45 minutes or so. I also have a repti fogger that i have hooked up to a timer to go off everyone 2 hours for 15 minutes. I am planning on betting the hygrotherm controller later this week so that should keep the humidity at a constant percentage but i still feel like its dropping abnormally fast for some reason.
My second question is about burrowing. My frog stays burrowed all day unless i dig him out to feed him and i was wondering if thats normal and if its ok to dig him out? also how deep should my substrate be?
So far hes been doing great besides staying burrowed all the time. He eats two medium sized crickets a night.
My tank includes:
Eco earth coco fiber substrate
medium sized water dish
1 fake plant
1 hollowed log
an exo terra infared 50 watt bulb for nighttime heat which i try to keep at 75-80
an exo terra intense basking spot for day time heat around 80-82
a repti fogger hooked up to a timer
terranium background on 3 sides of the tank
plastic wrap on 2/3 of screen
also im using distilled water in the mister and spring water in the fogger and water dish.
