I will be purchasing a new thermometer this week so hopefully my cheap one is just wrong. The tank itself seems warm by the touch for sure, so it might be the case. What else can I do to raise the temp?? I was thinking of buying one of those ceramic heating elements or even going as far as getting a small space heater and pointing it into the top.

And it seems like I was pretty misinformed by my pet store! They never told me about the dusting and they actually said that the substrate I have would work out. I just started putting the dozen into the tank thinking the frog would just eat them when he's hungry and they all seem to survive the week until eaten. I'll go back to placing a few in there a day. I still have a decent bit of coco fiber from my background that was leftover so i'll see if I need to purchase anymore.

So things to buy: Something to heat it up more, Vitamin dust for the crickets, and possibly more eco earth. Thank you!

On a brighter note, I saw him today and he had a few spots of green on the top of his head. Maybe he's getting better! The new top I made to hopefully keep the humidity in didn't seem to work out so well. Would a glass top be alright and help keep it humid? I figured there would need to be some sort of air movement so I bought the screen top in the first place.
