    I wanst suggesting both treatments be done at the same time.
    I dont know what kind of plastic emits toxins at 90 degrees, especially anything made for herps. There are alot of reptiles (though no amphibians) that require such temps.

    The study I read about heat treatment was done on Northern Leopard Frogs that were housed in 16 qt sterilites.

    Ok, those don't emit toxins since they're used and heated for reptiles and snakes. Even frogs, but frogs never require such high temps as you stated. Although frogs like the Waxy Monkey Tree Frog, American Bullfrogs, and Leopard Frogs do bask in the Sun and I believe they raise their body temps higher than 90°, but they are a more heat tolerant species and The Waxy Monkey Tree Frog coats its skin in a wax like sunblock and the Leopard Frogs and Bullfrogs remain near sources of water or cool damp vegetation to cool themselves if needs be. That explains why that test was successful.
