Trouble in the Enclosure

[jmor]

I have nothing serparating the gravel from the coco fiber, but it is large gravel and I dont think it poses an impaction risk. He feeds off tongs (to avoid eating anything he isnt supposed to). I have water conditioner I use for my sons fish, so I willl start treating his water dish water. He is definitely a burrower. At one point I had closer to 4" of coco fiber in his enclosure, but he would dig down to the gravel layer for 4-5 days at a time. Idk if that info is of any use. Are there any disadvantages to using a intrared bulb full time?

no, that is what I'm using, plugged in hydrotherms, for almost all my tanks and just regular low voltage energy saving lamp for day light

if you want to use gravel as drainage you need to separate it from top layer. the frog can damage himself digging through bigger gravel, but in general with the amount of waste they produce you need to change substrate once a month anyway, so drainage layer is more work for you.

Update on C. Cranwelli albino:
The appropriate changes have been made as per the posts by Lija and Griff. Horatio seems to be improving drastically. Humidity is up. Temp is up. I've relinquished my drainage layer in exchange for more substrate changes. I'm looking into starting my own worm box (as the only herp food at my local pet store is crickets and mealworms =/) I havent been able to make it into town yet to buy multivitamin ( the struggles of the rural herper), but that's the only piece of advice I have yet to follow. Thank you all for your help!!
