New baby Pacman. New guy on forum :)
Hi guys my name is Edd and this is the 1st amphibian I have purchased as well as my first post on this forum.
Is 90 Degrees faaarrr too hot for a Pacman setup? I have read soooo many different care sheets for these guys that sort of state (when compiled) that anything between 75 - 90 is ok for day time temps.
The side with my heat mat gets to 90 degrees F (peak) during the day. (I actually have the thermometer on the glass that the heat matt is attached too. The opposite side is much cooler at about 80F....is this ok as the frog can chose where to plonk itself down?
It tails off to about 87 degrees at about 1600 onward. (on the heat mat side)
The cool side goes from 80 - 85 depending on the ambient room temp.
Humidity is about 75 - 79.
Exo Terra 12x12x12 with 2x single compact canopies.
I use a 26 watt heat mat on side, a repti glo 13 wat lamp for the day time
I use a 15 watt heat repti glo lamp and the heat mat at night time (ambient temp drops to about 60F in my house)
I have had the lil guy for 2 days now...he/she is under a lot of stress from the move I think. I had to push his locust against his/her lips before he/she would open mouth to eat (I have not seen any faeces yet so I think it has not eaten in a few days, when I called the reptile shop they said they didn't know!).
I have included a few pics of my setup and frog - so please let me know if there is anything glaringly wrong!! (Is my pacman too thin?)
Thank you for taking the time to read my post,
Edd
