New owner! Questions!

Ok i'll have to go out and buy a critter keeper then. Do you think it will stay hot enough for him in there?
I don't have any lighting on the tank, I have a heat pad on the side of the tank for heat.
All of the water I have used has been treated with reptisafe, so no worries there!

welcome to the frog forums! and congrats on getting a new baby! pics are always welcome you know
Danfrog- 78% is a good humidity, anything between 70 and 80 is good, temps (80) are ok, i would keep it a bit higher during a day with a few degrees drop at night, so day - 80-82 ( keeping closer to 82) and night 76-78. feed about 30 min after lights are off and temps drop for better feeding response.
very important question - lights - what kind are you using? make sure you don't use any UVB and dim light only, that is very important for albino.

tank size - yes it is too big, BUT he is eating ok and from tongs, so keep it this way, if you have stuff in a tank, plastic plants, rocks, driftwood, places to hide and minimize space you should be fine with your tank. General rule- you want a small plastic critter keeper for a baby, but since you have a tank already and he has no problems with that, i would keep it this way.
however you will still need something like that for baths/temp. enclosure while cleaning tank, etc, so that thing is useful to have.

Thanks for the info! I will upload a picture for all of you guys!



I thought that you need only a light or a heat pad? I have a heat pad stuck to the side of the tank, but no lighting. Is that ok or do I need a light too? :/

Do you think he's eating alright? He ate 2 crickets wednesday night and last night he ate a piece of a nightcrawler. Should he be eating more? or is he still getting used to his new home? I feel like when I feed him with the tongs i'm annoying him, but if i don't feed him with tongs I don't think he will find the crickets. Will that stress him out?

Sorry, i just wanna make sure i'm doing things right! I really have gotten attached to the little bugger

no need to be sorry beautiful frog!
what he is eating sound very right! go ahead with tong feeding, you need to reinforce it while he is ok with that so you will have less problems later.

Good! I was a bit worried he wasn't eating enough!
Thanks everyone for all of your help! It's nice finding great people with great information!
Hopefully Miles grows up to be a big chubby froggy!
