Chubby frog questions

[Mentat]

Asian Painted Frog or Chubby Frogs - Kaloula pulchra, grow 2-3 in. as adult. If getting one, eventually might need a 10G tank for it (15-20G for a pair). The heat source always depends on the ambient room temperature and the frog's needs. For a 5 gallon; a 40-60W bulb in a controlled (dimmer or thermostat) fixture should be OK. Can use lower wattage bulbs in combination with a side mounted heat pad or heat tape.

They do OK in a Pacman/Tomato frog type enclosure with following parameters: temperature of 80F during day with around a 10 degree drop at night; and humidity around 70-80%. A round cork piece large enough to fit frog or a cork slab to hide under is a good addition to their enclosure .

Yeah i already have a 10 gallon tank ready for him when he gets a bit older but i thought it would be better to start him off in a. 5 gallon so i can monitor him a little more.Im just gonna stick with the reptiherm heat pad by zoo med.Is that too hot for the frog or is it ok?

It's not possible to predict if heat pad will be OK or not. Recommend you do a trial before getting frog and test any heating equipment then. You might need to use a controller or add additional heat sources as stated in my previous post.
