    You need to get accurate temperature readings and humidity. You need thermometer and hygrometer gauges inside the tank at about an inch or so above the substrate level (down where they live). This is very important. They need to live within the proper temperature readings and humidity levels or they will become stressed, stop eating, sick, or worse. Take the under tank heater off the bottom of the tank. They love to burrow and have been know to burrow down and accidently burn themselves. Be super careful when removing it because if any of the heat coils break from inside, it becomes a fire risk and you willl have to discard it. An under tank heater can, however, be used on the side of his tank. You should have a warm side to the tank and a cooler side for the water bowl. This allows them to regulate their own temps a bit by moving to the side they choose. You absolutely must dechlorinate all water used for him, including misting water, water bowl, and the water used to moisten substrate. Take the gecko out. They should each be in their own homes. The gecko will stress the frog and could eventually become a nice meal to him. The gecko can also scratch the frog. They have different body fluids that can make each other sick. It's not good for either of them to be housed together. P.S. Your geckos water should be given dechlorinated too. Go to the pacman/ceratophrys care sheet on the very front page of the forum here. Please come back with any further questions so we may help you. Good luck!
