With that said, if you aren't willing to put in the effort or do the research on keeping them happy and healthy, I would strongly advise against getting another. I have three that I keep in identical conditions per the care guidelines, and two are fat, happy frogs, but the third usually won't eat and hasn't grown as well, and it makes me feel like I'm failing him in some way. He doesn't look skinny and continues to grow, but not as well as the others. Frogs aren't for everyone, you might consider a different kind of pet that would be better suited to your climate/dedication/lifestyle.

    Yes everything is available, but sometimes you just have to ask. And it's the best to ask if not sure. always! Research is great, but some advise is needed sometimes too.

    elli, you can play around with the dome if it has a dimmer. Controller is the easiest and guaranteed way, but you can play around to see how else you can do it. If you have stuff around, just plug it in and see what works, make sure you have proper temp and humidity gauges though.
    Amazon and eBay sells for 50$ I believe. And it worth every last penny.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Thank you Lija.

    This dome does not have a dimmer but getting one that does have one is no big deal.

    I checked Amazon and its 70 there. I am sure its worth it And most likely I will end up getting one.

    I may have asked this before but what gauges do you use?

    Also my last Pacman was from Petsmart, This time I am ordering from a breeder ( If I do decide to get one), I want to do everything right this time. This is the first pet I have had that I feel I just completely failed. ( since I became an adult that is)

    I am trying to do everything right if I do this again.
