Just got a Pacman yesterday!

Hes probably 3" maybe a bit smaller. I woke up and checked and the three crickets were still in there. I have three plants, two cover one wall, and then the third is in the other corner, so there is still about a wall and a half open. I think he might not eat because of the move. I think I am going to keep a close eye on him since I am off this weekend. I also have a heat light. I think someone said that isn't really necessary. Should I take it out? Just wanting something to be able to see him better.

Here he is!

Pretty! But he needs warm bath to help him shed, it is very dry in there, you gotta fix it. Heat lamps especially spot heat lamps like yours usually are sucking humidity very fast, infrared lamps are better for maintaining temps and you use them at night too.

You can use just regular energy saving lamp, 13w are perfect, not too bright and let you see the guy.

and you still need to cover 3 sides of his enclosure, just plants are not enough, just get smth, aquarium backgrounds work awesome for that.

Lija, I have since your message gotten a loweer watt light and got more plants. I have also been soaking the substrate very well. As far as the bath, can you explain a little more of that?

[Lija]

You gotta be careful with soaking substrate very well it has to be wet but not soaking wet, not mud like.

Bath i actually do it for mine once a month at least when changing substrate, just because, my male is a VERY lazy one lol

bath to help with shedding- warm treated water, i usually stick my hand in, if it feels warm, not going osd over exact temp. I would think it should be about 82. Water level no higher then frogs chin, otherwise it might drown, keep a frog in there for like 20 min, rub very very gently sides, dont use any force taking skin out, it should go on its own. You might need to do it a few times depending how bad the situation is.
