anyway - light for night- don't worry, nothing special needed, she looks perfectly happy with very round belly I have night blue heating lamps for both tanks, but it is out of necessity to keep temps up, day - I would get direct uvb anyway for at least a few hours a day.
I'm not sure - what kind of substrate you're using? and you have a water bowl, right?

and to reply what do you need to stimulate their walking, don't expect them walk too much, they won't move from a spot unless they're hungry and only if food is far away, they're pretty lazy frogs, most would prefer for food to come to them instead of other way around :lol:
Oh! Interesting, well that very well could be--they weren't sure at the store! I had guessed male because they did have a larger waxy that was a female. He/she haha is about 3 inches long and is the Chacoan species, so from everything I've read, and adult. The store I got her from had three since they were froglets. Glad to hear you think she looks good! I'll definitly see about the UVB. What % is best? Yep I do have a water bowl. I'm using coco plantation soil by exo terra for substrate. I've seen a few care sheets were that type of is listed as being decent. I'm considering covering it with moss or something of that order. We have two fire skinks and the potential to ingest substrate is somethign we have to watch with them.
I was wondering if night time temperatures also effects their activity and alertness--I could only come across a few sites that actually gave a range of 70-74 for temperatures at night.
I'm more confident now that stress and adaptation to the new habitat are really what's at play: She ignored us offering food last night, but this mornign I saw her alert for a a few minutes, looking around the cage some, before she settled back to sleep. I'll have to get some more pictures up!
