    Temperature in your tank is too cold (which slows digestion) and your humidity levels are too inconsistent. irThumper already posted ideal temperatures, and humidity should stay between 40-60% (with 50 being ideal). I would suggest misting smaller amounts of water more frequently to maintain a better constant humidity level.

    That said, temps are probably not the only problem, as it sounds like she has parasites. I would continue with honey baths (be sure you give her a plain water bath afterwards to remove honey residue) to help her poop so you can bring the fecal sample into the vet for a parasite check. Have you tried any other feeders to tempt him into eating? Something like waxworms or butterworms are more of a treat rather than a staple, but supposedly taste great to frogs and may at least give him something to poop out. Hornworms (not wild caught ones as they are toxic) or nightcrawlers are healthier but may be less tempting (and hornworms can be hard to find).
