    Could it be some kind of toxin or poison? Is the dirt in the tank new? Some sick people get a kick out of putting poison in things, maybe in the dirt you bought? I know my post sounds silly, but maybe?
    Anyway, I hope this turns out ok.

    Your frog sounds fine. The humidity is a little on the low side, but probably not enough to really cause problems in the short term, especially if the substrate is moist. Try to get it up to around 80% though.

    I seriously doubt there are toxins or anything in the eco-earth.

    If you recently rearranged or cleaned anything in the tank, your frog probably just got a little stressed. Mine spends about twenty minutes trying to climb out of her tank every time I do a thorough cleaning. I think no matter how well you wash out the cleaning chemicals, they can probably still pick up on them and are probably a little freaked out by it. Sometimes mine does it when she's uncovered herself to shed as well.

    The eco earth I am using is from a bag bought right after I got him, from Petco, it is the loose stuff as a full compressed brick is way to much for his current enclosure, found that out the hard way when I made up a brick and had a ton of it left in the soaking bucket, the bag was unopened and was well sealed. The only other thing I can do is hunt down a hydroponics store in my area and see if they have any coir bricks and try that.
