    Hi,
    Give things a few days......to see if he spends less time in the water bowl now that the temps and hopefully the humidity levels are
    better/or confirmed to be all set.

    Since you had sphagnum moss in the enclosure.....watch for poop
    We want to make sure he did not swallow any moss.
    Seeing poop will be a great sign ! ( imagine that ! )

    Oh...Don't worry about the "mold" as long as you baked the wood first ? ....just let things cycle.
    If you did not bake the wood....pull it.....scrub it... and bake it at 200 degrees for about 45 min ( keep an eye on it !! as it bakes) No soap , of course, just HOT tap water.

    Keep us posted.

    I'm sad to report that Hopper passed away on Friday Thursday night as I went to mist the enclosure he seemed alright, hanging out where he used to in the back. When I got home Friday from work, I found him by his water bowl with all his color back. I was like hey look at that! But then I realized from the way he was laying, something was wrong and when I poked him, he did not move. I then noticed he wasn't breathing so I gave him a proper burial out in the yard.

    I find it a little strange that he changed back to green before passing away. Maybe, he was getting better but the stress was just too much.

    My plans for now are to fully stock my aquarium first and then get a new frog. This will allow my plants to grow in a little better. As much is I liked my White's Tree Frog, I'd like to have something that's active during the day and what first got me into this hobby was the extremely bright colors of Poison Dart Frogs. Are they more active during the day?? My mom's worried about them being poisonous since we have a small dog that likes to get into everything but I never had an escape whether it was Hopper or even a Cricket (other than when i was changing the substrate and one surprised me)
