Hello, everyone,

I just got my first pacman frog (ornata). I've been lurking on these boards for the last week or so gathering the necessary information. My frog is roughly 2.5" in diameter, so I'm guessing he/she is 1-2 months old.

The only obstacle I've come across is that I'm having a hard time keeping the temperature in the correct range. We keep our home on the cool side (ambient 64-67F daytime), so keeping the tank temperature around 80-82F is giving me trouble. I currently am using a 5.5 gallon tank with 3/4 of the top screen covered. I have a UTH mounted on the side (back, long side) of the tank. I also have a blanket wrapped around the back and sides of the tank in an effort to retain more of the heat. I currently cannot seem to get the tank much warmer than 77-78F.

Any advice would be appreciated,

Mitch
