My Pyxie's been buried since around late February, which I know isn't really any time at all for these frogs especially when they're aevistating. She has an a 50W infrared light on during the day, keeping the temp on the warm side in the mid 80s (my preferred temp range), and shuts off at night so that (around this time of year) the temp in the room seldom drops below 68. Even though it seems she's aevistating I still keep the substrate well moist (it was recently changed in fact, on Feb. 17).
I've been thinking about slapping a big heat mat on the side of the tank just to make sure she doesn't get too cold at night, but the forum care sheet says, if they are in aevistation, they can stand temps down to 55 degrees. In that case, would I be better off just forgetting about adding another heat source and simply wait for her come up on her own? Assuming of course she is in fact aevistating? What has time and time again baffled me about Pyxie ownership is whether the frog is simply taking an extended nap or is aevistating despite the substrate being moist at all times.
In any case should I expect to see her again when the season gets warmer, when the temps in the room reach the low, mid, and even high 70s on occasion in summer?
