    We cannot see his overal appearence. Need to see its full body. Boiling does not remove all the chemicals or heavy metals and neither does filtering. You must treat the water with a water dechlorinator like Prime or ReptiSafe.

    No, boiled water is not okay. Boiling does not remove chloramines, which are toxic to frogs. Like Lija said, you need to use TREATED water, and you need to get (or get someone to pick it up for you) water conditioner from the petstore ASAP. You need to use treated water for their water dish, as well as misting. Also, when you get the conditioner, you need to remove ALL the bedding, and moisten all new bedding with the treated water. 'Prime' is the brand I use, and it is in the fish section of petstores (most fish water conditioners will work though). You just add a few drops to a gallon of water at a time, let it sit for an hour or two, and it's ready to use.

    Also; what type of thermometer and hygrometer are you using to measure the temps and humidity?

    You can't really tell if a frog is healthy or not just by looking at the top of its head. But if you have had him this long and have not been using water conditioner, my guess is that he is suffering from the toxins in his system. This can be easily reversed, but you need to get the water conditioner for that to happen.
