people brought up all the options to your solution... and 60-70 is a matter of weeks before your frog dies. It's like I'd toss you outside at 10Celcius without a jacket for weeks.. you'll survive a while but you'll break down at some point.

-Portable baseboard room heater (best way, expensive on electricity bill)
-ceramic heat emitter (pricy but best quality of heat for just one tank)
-red tint incandescent bulb (can stay on at night, cheap and efficient but will dry up a 10gal real fast)


Heat mat cannot burn a frog tho, I don't understand why people keep saying that eheh. the one for frogs are 4W... this is completely useless waste of money as this doesn't pull ANY heat at all... it's very minimal... but the thing you have to understand is frog burrows when they're hot and want to cooldown... so you mess that up for em big time with a heatmat.
heatmat are "good" for animals that don't burrow like geckos, toads, dart frogs. ultimately using it right under a false bottom vivarium will give you best results but in all seriousness, they're a complete waste of money for what they are.

Just get a good lamp and ceramic heat emitter
ALRIGHT GUYS

I bought the heat emitter and infared heat light (red) but the flukers lamp does nnot have a dimmer, its just an on/off switch, using the maximum 75 watts it produces. would that be a problem? cause i usually see lamps using the full power of the lights. would that do any harm to the frogs eyesight orcan they even see the bbright red light? also is it okay that the heat lamp is resting on the lid screen of should i let it hover over it?
