    Can you post a good picture of the frog? The side that is see through if you can get it. I don't think its your setup, it looks fine. When you look at the see through part does it look like there is water in there? What does it feel like when you touch it, does it feel solid on that side or does it feel squishy? Are you sure it wasn't shed in the water? If it wasn't shed he could have some kind of bacterial or fungal infection. Does he seem slimey all the time? Im not sure what the black inside could be but it sounds like your frog retaining water for reason and there could be a few reasons for this. A good picture would be great so we can help you out abit more. Are you still using that analog 2-1 that's on your back wall? Get some digital if you are that thing is no good.

    It took my little guy a few to be comfy. That and help from Lija. Is your heat pad under or on the side of the tank? Pacmans burrow to cool down and soak up a little moisture usually. So on the side is where ya want to be. Also, have you tried to feed in a seperate container? This may help some i hope.

    Curious. You refer to alot of terms like me... Do you have a snake?

    I pray you use something to regulate that uth. They burrow to cool down not heat up. Get a regulator and move that pad man...

    When people mention not to put a UTH on the bottom it isn't just because of burning the frog. Its more that this a burrowing frog and he does this to cool off and get out of the light and heat of the sun. So if he feels warm and tries to burrow to cool off he will not be able to because the substrate is warm to, it throws them off from being able to regulate there body temperature. Think of when your outside and dig a hole the farther down you go the colder the soil or dirt becomes. Can you take a picture of the side that's clear? And is that side swollen? When you bought your frog what kind of bedding was he on there? Im wondering if he is impacted and that's what the black thing is inside and its damaged or tore something internally and he has an infection. I don't think the crickets are the problem, I think he severely impacted or he is sick with something. Did you try a honey bath yet to see if he would poo?
