Whites tree frog is BLACK!

Wow. I have seen a lot of white's change before, mine and others, but never saw one go that dark brown. If he changed due to stress, his being in that little critter keeper wouldn't be helping it in anyway, so I wouldn't expect him to change back in there. But they need to go somewhere while their tank is cleaned

Did anything change in the tank recently? Humidity? Temps? Decor? Not that any of those necessarily caused it, but it's a good place to start.

Nothing that I'm aware of... We have a space heater in the room that keeps it at a consistent temperature, as well as the lights are on a timer, going off and on at the same time at night and in the morning, while their heat lamp stays on all night. I wonder if they didn't have the right humidity for one reason or another? I know it gets dry in our house, but my husband said he thought they had plenty of humidity... I got them both to eat one cricket a piece (and quite enthusiastically) but they seemed annoyed by additional crickets, though I suspect that might be due to the critter carrier they're in...

Oh, and we have one of those fog humidifiers, but we recently moved, so my husband hasn't set it up yet. And lord knows if I tried to, I'd never get the tubes positioned right.
