Gray Tree Frog did the Pacman?

I'll turn off the heat lamp, I put aluminum foil on the top of the cage should I remove that too? I figured it'd keep in the humidity some. My Gray Tree Frog is up from the soil, on the edge of his cage. I noticed his color has changed from dark gray to a light gray, is that normal or should I change something else? He did croak this morning, some of the loudest croaks I've heard, between my dog snoring and having her dreams and both my frogs croaking I'm surprised I'm getting any sleep lol.

Light grey is good/normal.

Okay thanks. Even though I have experience with lizards a frog is a frog and needs different requirements than a lizard, I have 3 months of experience with frogs (had my Pacman before he died for 3 months).

Do you have a thermometer in your tanks? Unless it drops below 50 degrees, gray tree frogs are not going to need any additional heat. Even then, they'll probably just go into hibernation. They are adapted to survive the winters of the northeast this way. If you still want to provide some heat to keep them active, use a heat mat underneath or on the side of the tank. Heat lamps, unless carefully monitored, get way too hot for most frogs and you run the risk of cooking the poor animal.

When I read the thread title I thought this thread was going to be a disaster. lol.

However, I have two grey tree frogs and I never see them on the bottom of their enclosure. They stay perched close to one another under some fake plants I have under the heat lamp I keep on for 12 hours a day. At night they'll wake up and take a soak in their water dish. I feed them at night by tongs. Your Grey Tree is probably looking for a place to sleep and keep moist, which as mentioned before, your substrate is probably moist so he buried himself in it. He probably didn't eat the waxworm because it was during the day and they don't eat during the day, usually.
