Temp question.

[GrifTheGreat]

Is it a problem if the temps stay around 75 during the day and 70 at night ? I have had pacmen before but not in a plastic tank. It is a 5 gal for now with Eco earth water that is easily accessible by him. It's a albino paman witch i belive is a cornuta correct me if I'm wrong. It's still a small guy about the size of a half dllar. Is there anything that I new to get that I didn't say already? And for a ornate what should I do differenared to a normal pacman

Welcome to the forum.

To start with, we need more information. Please answer the questions from the Trouble in the Enclosure thread http:/www.frogforum.net/pacman-frogs/14721-trouble-enclosure.html and post the answers on this thread. Do you have any aort of heat pad or light?

Your temps are definitely too low. They should be 76-79 at night and 80-82 during he day for babies. They need heat to help metabolize their food. This is particularly important when they are young as that is their major growth period.

You mentioned three different species. Cranwelli, Cornuta, and Ornate. If you have an Albino then it is a Cranwelli. Please post pictures of the frog and the enclosure as soon as possible.

Edit: Lija beat me to it.

It's only going to be for a bout a week I just have to get a lamp. Yes I ment to say cranwalli.

[Stickemdeep]

Yes I have a light and I did a temp gun check and it's close to 80 now

[Lija]

that's better. you have absolutely adorable baby Cranwelli.

i suggest you get rid of moss in the enclosure, it posses a very high impaction risk if ingested. for plastic keeper you can get small UTH ( like for hermit crabs) and attach it to the side. what kind of lamp do you have? Note you can't use UVB for albino.

hey Grif, at least once i managed to beat you

I took the moss out today. He is eating dubia roaches and crickets. I'm useimg a normal t5 light right now but will be getting a standard light soon.

You have to use infrared bulbs with any Albino. Normal bulbs can damage their eyes. Absolutely no UVB or daylight bulbs. Be sure the infrared bulb is no higher than 50 watts.

Really? Would tinted incandescent bulbs work ?

You mean like a regular red glass bulb instead of infrared? Infrared produced both good light output and good heat which is what they're designed for whereas a regular bulb with colored glass will mostly give off light and very little heat. As long as it is getting the climate up to where it needs to be then everything should be fine.
