    Default dulling of color

    okay so I have a Bright Green Fantasy Pacman, good eater, he is getting a mix of Roaches and crickets, spending the day in a hot humid enivorment. Recently I have noticed that he has started to lose some of his color around his mouth, is this normal? or something I have to worry about? Can I help him get his color back? Anyone got any ideas?

    What are temps, humidity levels, and what substrate is he housed on?

    I have it down into the mid 70's at night with the lid open, but it tends to dry out fast then, what is a good balance?

    These frogs should NEVER be exposed to temps above 85° and that's the max. Plus your are causing serious stress with a near 20° Drop in temps at night. Exposure to severely high heat can cause kidney failure. Fix this issue immediately.

    Day temps are best 80° to 82° and night temps should be 75° to 79°, but hover around 78°. Maintain 80% humidity.
