White's-TreeFrog is being inactive...?

It screws into a light socket. It should not be inside the tank, because you don't want the frog coming directly in contact with it. You can find a ceramic heater in Petco or any other pet store for that matter.

I am skeptical about it's ability to heat the tank beyond what it is already being heated. (Need a 10-15 degree increase as my house is 60 at night)

Problem 2: I live in a frozen wasteland hundreds of miles from the nearest petco/petco with a good heating device. Is there a way to get them online?

Also, the heat rocks/logs look like they might be useful as well. They wouldn't hurt it's skin or anything would they? *assumes they're used for reptiles and not amphibians*

Heat rocks are the worst! They are designed to go in with the animal, but often end up burning said animal. Decent pet stores don't carry them.

Ceramic heat emitters can be purchased on-line from just about any where. Petco has on-line shopping, I believe, but so do a lot other stores/vendors. Josh's Frogs and Black Jungle probably have them too.

Oh and they definitely do work. What size tank do you have?

20 gallon. (It's long, not tall)

The bulb I use currently is a 150W "Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp". It only seems to raise the temperature maybe 5 degrees.... Right now the tank is 70 according to the thermometer thing I put in there. (My house is generally 60-69 lately. Probably 67ish now)

I used to use a 40 watt bulb on a ten gallon and it brought it up to 85 - 90 F.

Then... my themometer is lying and the frog has something else causing this weirdness, or my lamp/lightbulbs suck. Or the tank is simply too big for the entire thing to be very affected by the lightbulb which is tangling about 5 inches above the lid.

There's the problem, the bulb is too far away from the tank. When I have used heat bulbs/ceramic heat emitters they were installed in clamp lights that rest on top of the screen mesh of the cage. The mesh is metal. If the mesh is plastic, you cannot rest it on the top of the cage as it will melt. Keep the clamp light away from the any plastic, like the frame of an aquarium. Place it in the middle of the screen top to prevent melting the frame.
