Frog turning pale getting very worried.

Ok thanks guys. I have a question though about the heating pad it only heats the tank to 70 degrees. I don't understand why that is bad on the hot area of the tank.

Normally you have to use a heat lamp in tandem with the UTH. Incandescent bulbs produce far more heat than CFLs or standard fluorescent tubes. You may want to switch to incandescent lighting rather than fluorescent.

I originally had cfl lighting but it was near impossible to keep the humidity. A person at at the pet store recommended wet towel but i could sill barely hit 70. My frog is doing much better. I stopped using that water and she seems fine now. I switched to dechlorinated tap water. Wasn't sure what dechlorinator to get so I got nutrifin. I didn't want to use the API stuff I had from my fish stuff because it is a year old. I tested the water from the bottles the GH and KH must of been way to high it was 180 GH and 240KH or above my tester won't go higher(API 5 in 1).

Glad your figured it out.

Where do you suggest putting the heat pad then??

I have a large heat pad since my Giant is in a 22 gallon. I have it on the back wall on one end of the tank. There should always be a temp gradient within the enclosure so that the frog can choose whether it wants to be warm or cool. Ambient air temp should be consistent or have a very low fluctuation. You could do the same, but what are the measurements of your Heat Pad?

I believe 8x12
