The room is the same room I keep my pythons in so I have a heat fan in there to keep the room at a constant 80 degrees during the day and I drop it to 75 at night. I also have one of those zoo med heat gun things that you point at a spot and it gives you the exact temp of that area. I do treat the water with stress coat because I always have that on hand for doing water changes on my aquarium. I have read the pacman frog caresheets, but when I was younger, I had a pacman frog for 3 years and since I was just a kid, I definitely neglected it so since I'm older, I figured I could keep it longer since I'm more responsible now and understand that these are lives that depend on me. I also fed it 1 or 2 large crickets every other day, some days it doesn't want to eat 2, and I dust the crickets with reptomin every other feeding.Also, I didn't have a heat source cuz it's such a small critter keeper, I was worried that it would dry it out too fast because that's happened to me before.

How were you keeping your humidity at 85% with only misting twice a week? I figure you've got some other system for humidity since you keep retics, but I gotta ask anyway :P

I really don't know of anything that you did that could've caused that. Could it've been some sort of neurological problem? If he had a sudden seizure that could've caused him to void his bladder and get that skinny look. That's kind of a stretch but it's the only thing I can think of that could cause that so suddenly...
