    ok, now that I have time to explain, sry for offending whomever, I am 2 months away from my wedding n going crazy and was trying to make my posts short n 2 the point. Apparently shoulda worded stuff better.
    I will be getting a dimmer for the lamps for sure. And will change the substrate asap. I will also get a UTH to stick to the side. My concern for those was just that I had been talking to someone just like you who is a long time breeder and such, he was telling me they can burn if they get too close to them, that worried me.
    I do have a temp and humididty gauge. As far as the temp range I gave above, the low of 75 i've only caught a couple times. Usually it is at 80. I check it as often as possible.
    Excuse my ignorance with anything, I am used to reptiles an inverts, this is my first amphibian.
    I REALLY appreciate any and all advice, like I said before, I wasnt trying to piss anyone off!!! :/

    After you make the changes to the tank it will take a day or 2 for the frog to readjust to the environmental changes. I would also buy new gauges because humidity almost never stays at 75% to 80% when you have a heat lamp over the tank.

    Update: All the suggested changes were made. Upon removing her from the tank to change the substrate, I found she was shedding. She has now FINALLY ate a frozen mouse Could she not have been eating due to her shedding?

    No not necessarily. Adults should shed about once or twice a week. She was probably stressed for so.e apparent reason, but some will eat before they shed and not eat anything afterwards.
