Stick on thermometers are inaccurate. Recommend get a digital one and get probe located on back center, around 2/3 way up. Can also move around the probe to get temps at other cage locations. IRT stressed frog, please answer the below questions to get a better idea of whats going on. Thank you !
Well, looks like I'll do some research instead of asking the local pet store employees haha

The wattage of the red bulb is 60 watts. It came in a day/night package by Zoo Med. Wasn't having much luck with the day bulb. I went through 2 in 2 months.

I'll go by a new thermometer this week. When I was first building the enclosure, I was trying to stick to a budget and opted for that. I have one on my aquarium and seems to do just fine.
