    hey,
    is it absolutely necessary for the heater to be on the side, because once i take this one off, it wont re-stick, he does have about 2/3 of his tank without the heater, in it 1/3 of the area has the heater under it.
    wouldn't he know that he is overheating?
    thank you

    Air temperature should be 82F or around 28C. In order to reach that; your substrate will be way warmer to the point of being too hot. Just stick a thermometer probe on substrate above the glass bottom where heater pad is located and measure the temperature in there.

    Your frog instinct over thousands of evolutionary years has taught it to bury when it's hot into the cool ground. Problem is; you have reversed nature's heat situation in your enclosure. The frog isn't going to figure that out and it will overheat while trying to cool down.

    There are tapes (i.e. high temperature duct tape) you can use to reaffix the pad on the enclosures side. Just be carful when removing it, so that the interior wiring does not get damaged .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
