Big Pacman frog trouble

[emandkel]

I'd get a DIGITAL thermometer, they are much more accurate. As Grif said, you only need enough substrate for him/her to bury itself. They can and often will bury to the bottom.

5.5 gallons seems too big for a baby -- they can get stressed by being in too big of spaces. Usually a medium Kritter Keeper is what is recommended. You can buy an infrared heat lamp and that is fine for an albino, but keep a careful eye out on the humidity as that can dry out the substrate fast.

Actually 5.5 gallons is fine for adult pacman frogs, especially males. They do not move much. I house mine in tubs that are about the size of 5.5 gallon aquariums.
