If its to cold they wont digest properly and then they will not poop and this can make the frog go toxic from old food in his belly. Lots of stores and stuff will give wrong advice on these 2 elements of the frogs life.
    Luckily when I was talking to the store about reptiles and such, I knew he basically knew nothing about any of the animals there and actually feared a few from bad experiences (when I asked what happened he said he had been bitten by one of the snakes and the beardies, I won't say what store or how often they feed them... Basically becuase it will start another debate on how chain pet stores don't know what their doing) my only comment is that someone who fears the reptiles shouldn't be in charge of them...

    Ya that's not good at all, and that's a very good point. I forgot to mention that at night when the lights go out let his temps drop a couple degrees, lets say down to 79f and that's when he will come out to eat. This is when they eat in the wild so its the best time to feed him. When you end up getting him post some pictures.

    lol I don't think there's really a debate about that, it's just one of those things that's universally accepted on exotics forums Most lps have no idea what they're doing. Sad but true.
