3. Between 80% and 90%

4. Between 75 and 85 degrees

5. Tap water treated with "Zoo Med"s "Repti-Safe Instant Terrarium Conditioner"

6. Coconut fiber substrate

7. 1 fake small plant and 1 small live plant

8. Petco

9. I dusted 1 of the worms with a calcium powder

10. Repti-Glo 10.0 uvb bulb was recommended to me by a store clerk but I lined the top of the cage with moss to filter light/hold moisture.

11. A small under the tank heater wasn't warm enough so i added a red light heat lamp in a deep dome at a distance to provide an ambient temperature of 85 degrees.

12. About 3 days

13. He pooped once in the first week after purchasing

14.

15. About 2 months? assuming he was a month old when i bought him

16. 1 month

17. Captive

18. He ate 1 to 2 wax worms a day for the better part of a week, since then I only managed to feed him 1 wax worm. i have tried crickets and night crawlers.

19. About 3 times the first couple weeks then maybe once a day for the past 3 or 4 days while getting him to soak/change water. (I thought it might help with the shedding)

20. It is kept in my living room. i live with my girlfriend and we rarely have guests

21. changed water every other day to daily. never changed substrate as he only pooped once and i cleaned it immediately.
Well so far everything is ok except one major detail. UVB light. Most pet stores don't know how to properly care fro these animals and often just guess or make suggestions that they really have no clue about. UVB is unnecessary and a 10.0 is rediculously high. This could have been part of the issue. If your frog was a baby then you would want to stay around 80° to 82° during the day and hover around 78° at night.

Lija is right and UTH needs to be on the side not the bottom.
