    Right, I answered a bunch of these in the original post, but here goes:

    1-size of enclosure 20 gallon vertical
    2-# on inhabitants - specifically ( if there is another frog ---size differences ?) Just her
    3-humidity Dunno specifically, mist once-twice a day, we live in NYC, fairly humid summers
    4-temp high 70s - 90s F
    5-water - type - for both misting and soaking dish we always use brita-filtered dechlorinated tap water for both
    6-materials used for substrate see my 2nd post, like a astroturf-thing
    7-enclosure set up i.e. plants( live or artificial) wood, bark etc -how were things prepared prior to being put into the viv artificial hanging plant, stick, rock, and plastic water dish
    8-main food source crickets
    9-vitamins and calcium ? ( how often ) nothing official, but i feed the crickets lettuce, spinach, and carrots for 24 hours before i feed her
    10-lighting none at the moment besides ambient interior lights, i heard they are nocturnal and don't need lighting like other reptiles and amphibians
    11-what is, specifically, being used to maintain the temperature of the enclosure since it's summer, nothing right now, temps are always in the high 70s, 80s, 90s
    12-when is the last time he ate yesterday evening, we feed her 1 large cricket a day more or less
    13-have you found poop lately a poop per cricket more or less
    14-a pic would be great ( including the frog ) any little cell phone pic is fine working on it, won't disturb her until later today
    15- how old is the frog not sure, she was from the school i work at, they were using them for behavioral experiments and i took her home afterwards
    16-how long have you owned him roughly 2 months
    17- is the frog wild caught or captive bred don't know, but i'm guessing captive bred since they were ordered bulk for science experiments
    18- frog food- how often and if its diverse what other feeders are used as treats she hasn't eaten anything but gut-loaded crickets
    19- about how often the frog is handled basically never, except lately to quarantine her, put her in the 0.6% salt bath, neosporine
    20-is the enclosure is kept in a high or low traffic area relatively low traffic, in a corner of our apartment, we work all day from 6:30am - 5:30pm so it's quiet then, we are in and out of the room of course otherwise


    Hope this helps! Again, I will get the pics in a bit!
