In low temperatures his digestive system will be shutting down followed shortly by kidney failure, followed by frogs death. 80-82 is for adults, for babies it can be up to 84.

red wigglers secret sticky substance that frogs hate, tried once 99% of them will refuse anything that would even remotely look like them.

heat pads had never worked for me. To heat up 10 gal you need to biggest heat pad you can find and that can stick to the side, however the glass can crack if sprayed directly. I use infrared heat lamps or ceramic heat emitters.

Prime Is the what I use too, you are right to use only conditioned water for everything frog related.

You need plain coconut fibre ( Exo earth or plantation soil) without any additives, you need to change it every month.

active Pacman frog, especially adult/subadult pacman frog is not happy, but in distress. Happy pacman is a pet rock

if you can afford hydroterm by zoomed, I got all mine off ebay for about 50$, get that thing. If you plug the heat lamp and fogger ( humidity) in that thing, you will live worry free over temp or humidity. It will control it for you.

Make sure 3 sides of his tank are covered with smth not see through, to control humidity in our awfully dry alberta you gotta cover all top with foil, and then cut a hole a bit bigger then diameter of your heat lamp.

Edit - pic? Wanna make sure no MBD or anything else here

He seems to be eating fine now that the humidity is proper. If pet rock is a happy frog than I think I'm doing fine he stays burrowed down with the heat on and comes out farther when it drops same spot he's moved spots once since I've owned him. MBD stands for? I don't know where my phone usb cable is so pic isn't really an option at this moment. He's that brown/green kind probably bought from like a petsmart. If I just turn his heat lamps on during the day and humidity drops down to 60-70 % during day time hours and than back up to 80 % for night would that be ok? I don't have more money to throw towards this at the moment. I should be ok using a bit of organic soil or peat mixed in with the cocunut fibre substrate so the plants get a bit of nutrients more suited than the fibre provides I've read. Probably use red wriggler compost eventually as well with some hardy humid loving plants like described above I figure that might be enough to keep his humidity stable and the temp around 78-80 pretty much tank wide. I'll purchase some worms from a bait store like you recommended if they don't like the red ones. trying light and pad at the moment cut tin foil out at top to see if i can get it to 84. planted some pothos stems into just the fibre to see if I can get the humidity to stick with more in the tank. She only had a fake plant and a water dish so no hiding spot at the moment.
